Now through Sunday, Jan. 5, the city of Winter Park is bundling up once again for “Winter in the Park,” the city’s annual holiday ice-skating rink in Central Park West Meadow. The West Meadow is located at 150 N. New York Ave., on the corner of New York Avenue and Morse Boulevard, in downtown Winter Park. Snowflakes of all ages and skill levels are invited to chill out as they glide, spin and turn at “Winter in the Park”:

• Monday through Thursday, 3 to 9 p.m.

• Friday, 3 to 10 p.m.

• Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

• Sunday, noon to 8 p.m.

See website for extended school holiday hours.

Snow angels are invited to skate all day for only $10 per skater (skate rental included). For a blizzard of 20 or more people, some cool group discounts are available for all this frigid fun. If you are interested in bringing your whole igloo to celebrate birthdays, special events, private parties or corporate holiday gatherings, the rink is available for rental opportunities. Advance reservations are required for private party and group reservations to avoid an icy avalanche of skaters at the rink.

Holiday music, games, carolers and so much more will flurry around you as you enjoy “Winter in the Park.” For more information, please call 407-599-3203 or visit cityofwinterpark.org/WITP

“Breakin’ Up is Hard to Do” will start off the year at the Winter Park Playhouse. The show opens Jan. 24 and runs through Feb. 15. Relive all the excitement and innocence of your first kiss with this delightful, upbeat musical featuring the songs of hit songwriter Neil Sedaka. Set in a Catskills resort in 1960, this is the sweetly comic story of two friends from Brooklyn in search of romance over one wild Labor Day weekend. The score showcases 18 Sedaka classics, including "Where the Boys Are," "Sweet Sixteen," "Calendar Girl," "Love Will Keep Us Together," and the chart-topping title song.
