Get to know us
World Ice Skating Day (WISD) is a worldwide extravaganza dedicated to the joy and excitement of ice skating.
Your local rink will plan a WISD event with something for everyone. WISD events in 2022, 2023, and 2024 witnessed free ice skating with music, coaching sessions for first-timers, skill development and injury prevention sessions for intermediate skaters and much more. There was also delicious food and refreshing drinks, along with amazing skating exhibitions showcasing the finest regional talent. And this year, who knows what more? The possibilities are endless.
So come on. Skate solo or roll with your family and friends. Our ice skating fun and games are the coolest celebration in town and the price? Absolutely zero!

Uniting the ice-skating community worldwide!
The ISU wants to bring sports back into the lives of kids and grown-ups in a world of screens and virtual reality.
As the oldest governing international winter sports federation, recognized by the IOC, the International Skating Union has been rocking the ice rinks since way back in 1892.
With the help of its national federation Members, the ISU has been spreading the joy of ice skating in all its forms through WISD. Speed Skating, Short Track, Figure Skating, Ice Dance, and Synchronized Skating are all special in their own way and bring people together on the ice.
They also support potential event organizers to host their own epic World Ice Skating Day in their countries.
