Ice skating at Harris Pavilion canceled for 2020-21 season

Ice skaters have become the latest victim of the coronavirus outbreak.

Manassas officials say the Harris Pavilion, the popular attraction that each winter is home to ice skating, won’t welcome skaters this year. Instead, the area will be used to expand outdoor dining areas for nearby restaurants.

The city made its announcement today in a press release.

Due to the resurgence in Covid-19 cases and capacity restrictions put in place by the Governor’s office to protect public safety, the Harris Pavilion will not be able to open this season for ice skating.

Public safety is our main priority but the limitation in how many people can be on the ice at any given time also makes opening the rink financially unfeasible.

In lieu of ice skating, the City has purchased several propone heaters that will be placed strategically within the pavilion to allow for expanded outdoor dining during the lunch and dinner hours. By doing this, we hope to support our restaurants by providing additional opportunities for outdoor dining and encourage our community to support City restaurants this winter.

The City, along with our partner, Rink Management, Inc., look forward to returning ice skating to the Harris Pavilion next winter.

Meanwhile, the city has postponed its 75th Annual Greater Manassas Christmas Parade until 2021. In its place are multiple, socially-distanced events to include a tree lighting ceremony and a tour of the city for Santa.
