Join us in making another magical season possible.

Partner with CARD to make the Chico Ice Rink possible, and put your business in the middle of one of downtown Chico's most anticipated holiday traditions.

Each winter, the Chico Ice Rink transforms Downtown City Plaza into a festive destination where families gather, connect, businesses celebrate, and skaters of all ages make memories on the ice.

For local businesses and organizations, sponsorship is more than an opportunity for visibility, it's a chance to connect your brand with a beloved community experience.

Why Sponsor the Chico Ice Rink?

The Chico Ice Rink is one of CARD’s most visible seasonal attractions and a centerpiece of downtown Chico’s holiday festivities.

Operating seven days a week from November through January, the rink attracts visitors from throughout Butte County and beyond. Throughout the season, thousands of people visit the rink to skate, attend special events, celebrate with friends and family, participate in field trips, enjoy cabana rentals, and experience the holiday atmosphere downtown.

When you sponsor the rink, your business becomes part of that experience.

Engage

Meet customers and community members at the rink through select tabling and activation opportunities.

Celebrate

Bring employees, clients, and families together for a memorable winter experience.

Get Recognized

Put your brand in front of rink visitors through signage, digital communications, social media, newsletters, and promotional materials.
