Exciting Changes this Holiday Season!
Downtown Cincinnati's winter festivities are expanding this year, bringing even more holiday cheer to the heart of the Fountain District. The UC Health Ice Rink has moved to Elm Street Plaza, Fountain Square is now home to Winterhaus -- a new glass-enclosed heated tent -- and a new lighting installation on the Tyler Davidson Fountain, and Fifth Street will be home to the Shillito's Elves and a series of holiday lights!
The UC Health Ice Rink is NOW OPEN!
A decades-old Cincinnati tradition formerly housed at Fountain Square, the UC Health Ice Rink presented by Fifth Third Bank, has officially relocated to Elm Street Plaza for the 2025-2026 rink season. The outdoor ice rink has taken over Elm Street Plaza through February 16.
Introducing Winterhaus!
Winterhaus is a heated, glass-enclosed, 65ft x 65ft tented retreat in the heart of Downtown Cincinnati at Fountain Square. Complete with daily events, a full bar, Cincinnati-centric shopping options, and space for everything from co-working to private events, Winterhaus is soon to become your new favorite winter tradition!
