What to expect
Nashville Yards' Rink Under Broad is returning with real ice for winter 2026–27, replacing the synthetic ice surface used in 2025. It is planned beneath Broadway, near Ascension Saint Thomas Landing, and is advertised at about half the size of a standard NHL rink.
The rink opens November 21, 2026, and is expected to operate daily, with private-event reservations also planned. While the wider Holiday Central festivities are scheduled through January 3, the rink's specific closing date, session hours, ticket prices and skate-rental policy have not been announced.
Holiday events and getting there
A free tree-lighting ceremony on November 28 at 5 p.m. features a 40-foot tree. A November 28–29 holiday market, seasonal movies and Santa visits are also planned around Nashville Yards.
The development gives 131 10th Avenue North as its parking and access address. Rink Under Broad is beneath the Broadway bridge, so confirm the rink entrance on the day you visit.
