The Main Street Ice skating rink comes as a result of a partnership between the City of Columbia and Magic Ice U.S.A. and has drawn a crowd of over 4,000 skaters since opening day on Thursday, November 23 from all across South Carolina.

In conjunction with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Honor the Dream food drive, tonight from 5-9 p.m. skaters who bring two canned goods will receive a discount on skate fees.
