Newark Social announced a new lineup of special events in celebration of their Newark Winter Village event that runs through January 30. The Winter Village, which kicked off on December 1, features an ice-skating rink and a variety of games and activities.
The special events will begin with a Hispanic Heritage Night on Wednesday, January 19, followed by special LGBTQ Pride Night programming on January 22. Those who purchase a ticket for either of these events will receive a special skate experience with a New Jersey Devils Alum. On January 20 and January 26, guests can attend a free “Learn to Skate’ event at 5:30 p.m. or a free “Learn to Play” event at 6:00 p.m.
In partnership with the New Jersey Devils, two complementary tickets to an upcoming hockey game will be given to every person who purchases a ticket for Winter Village in January.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer not only family-friendly activities in the heart of our city, but to also support our local businesses. Newark’s small-business community is a huge part of our city’s charm and personality, and so many of them were hit hard by the pandemic. In December, over 7,000 visitors explored Newark’s Winter Village and we have received extremely positive feedback from the community,” said Linda Baraka, the event producer for Newark Winter Village.
