A carpet of ice in the Piazza Grande, Locarno's 'city lounge' for adults and youngsters who want to skate against a beautiful Christmas backdrop with a magical atmosphere from 4 December 2008 – 6 January 2009. Next to the ice rink, the domes of the 'Igloo' bars: warm and cozy, they're the ideal place for an aperitif and meetings with friends. At night, along with the music, the spectacular structures of “Locarno on Ice” are immersed in a magical dance of multi-colored lights reflecting on the ice, transparent igloo domes and the mirror ball suspended over the rink. There's also music during the day, including live performances from both solo artists and guest bands. The “Locarno on Ice” program also features of course, attractions specifically for kids as well as the traditional New Year's Eve Party. From the 11th to the 28th of December, alongside the ice rink, a little Christmas market, complete with typical Northern European traditional wooden cabins, with craftsmen and their wares from all across Switzerland and beyond.
