Free Hot Chocolate Nights at Thompson’s Point Rink!

About this event

From popular public skating sessions to theme nights, getting out on the ice at the Thompson’s Point Rink has quickly become one of the quintessential winter experiences in Greater Portland. Light displays, a wide range of music, and food and drinks at the Après Lounge all coalesce to create unforgettable moments for individuals and families alike.

Thursday Hot Chocolate Nights at the rink bring a mix of warmth and nostalgia to children and adults of all ages as skaters and onlookers get the opportunity to stave off colder temperatures with free hot chocolate. Norway Savings Bank is thrilled to serve as sponsor of the weekly events, held on Thursdays from December 3 and into March, weather permitting.

“Thompson’s Point in any season is a destination for residents and tourists, but there is something special about being there during the holidays and through the winter. You can enjoy beautiful views, spend cherished time with family and friends, and experience traditional New England winter fun,” said Darci Hamm, President of Norway Savings Bank. “NSB is happy to play a small part in helping the wonderful staff and volunteers at Thompson’s Point make these experiences even more enjoyable.”

“Participants can bring their own skates or rent a pair when they arrive and then hit the ice,” said Kaileigh Wimert, Partnerships & Events Manager at Thompson’s Point. “Then, when they get chilly, they can enjoy a free cup of hot chocolate. We’re grateful to partner with NSB in presenting these special Thursday night sessions and look forward to welcoming skaters, new and experienced, out to the rink.”

The Thompson’s Point Rink will open for the 2026-27 season on Friday, November 27.
