On Saturday, January 17, 2026, more than twenty ice rinks across Hungary will throw open their gates for night owls who want to skate and party. It’s the ninth edition of Ice Rinks Night, and it’s no longer just a Budapest thing—several regional rinks are in on it too. In the capital, you can glide at places like the Ice Garden (Jégkert) and over in Old Buda (Óbuda), with more locations joining the lineup.
All-night glide, beats, and games
Expect a full-on after-dark skating vibe: extended hours for night skating, live DJ sets powering the ice, and frosty skill games to test your balance and nerve. Whether you’re polishing your crossovers or just there for the music and atmosphere, the event mixes sport and street-fair energy in the best winter way.
Nine years in, bigger than ever
What started as a local winter curiosity has grown into a nationwide mini-festival. With multiple rinks syncing up on the same night, it’s your excuse to swap the couch for cold air, city lights on ice, and a soundtrack that won’t quit.
