New real-ice rink for Fisherman’s Wharf: San Francisco on Ice opens on 4 November
Fisherman’s Wharf, one of San Francisco’s most visited districts, is getting its own outdoor ice rink this winter. San Francisco on Ice opens on 4 November 2026 and runs until 18 January 2027, according to details published by the San Francisco Chronicle and KRON4 based on Port of San Francisco information.
What we know about the project
- An outdoor rink of about 6,300 square feet (roughly 585 m²) at Fisherman’s Wharf, near the SkyStar Wheel.
- Winter season: 4 November 2026 to 18 January 2027.
- Operator: On Ice Rinks. Napapiri is not involved in this project.
Why it matters
Temporary real-ice rinks have become a proven way to bring winter footfall to urban and tourist districts: they draw visitors, extend the season and create a meeting point. It is the same principle behind mobile rental rinks: an installation that goes up in days, runs the whole season and is removed at the end.
