Icy Figure-Eight Trail in Toronto, You Can Skate Under The 'Northern Lights'

Sharpen those skates! A unique skating experience is coming to Toronto and you can glide beneath the "northern lights."

The Bentway is reopening its under-Gardiner skate trail with a new art installation that's brimming with celestial magic.

The 220-metre figure-eight ice trail runs beneath the Gardiner Expressway and is launching on December 16, 2023.

This year, it will feature an aurora borealis-inspired installation that reflects "the glowing hues of the northern lights."

You can glide beneath shades of green, blue, violet, and magenta that will transport you to a wintry night in a far away land.

There will also be a new Holiday Market this year where you can shop for goods and indulge in tasty treats.

The event is running each Saturday and Sunday from December 2 to 31 and is free to visit.
