The Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore hosted a grand opening event from 3 to 5 p.m. where attendees enjoyed hot cocoa and treats from Matriarch Coffee.

The rink is located at 201 E. Pratt Street at the top of the Inner Harbor Amphitheater and will be open throughout the season thanks to a partnership between the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore and the Baltimore Development Corporation, according to FOX45 Baltimore.
