Delaware County, PA – Embracing the spirit of winter, Flight On Ice announces the reopening of the Energy Transfer Veterans Memorial Rink in Edgmont, Newtown Square on Nov. 21st, bringing back their award-winning outdoor ice skating rink for the 2025-26 season. This family-friendly concept has captured the hearts of Delco residents since 2021, made possible by the support of Energy Transfer, Visit Delco, and numerous other sponsors.
“We are thrilled to announce that the Energy Transfer Veterans Memorial Rink will once again be open for skating this season,” said Joe McGinn, Vice President of Public Affairs at Energy Transfer. “Being part of the Edgmont and Newtown Square community is something we deeply value, and supporting both the rink and the Delaware County Veterans Memorial Association (DCVMA) is a natural fit. We are fully committed to this project and hope our generosity inspires others to join us in providing the financial support needed to keep this amazing tradition alive.”
Energy Transfer has pledged another $75,000 to be paid directly to the DCVMA this year, bringing the grand total over $225,000 donated to the Delaware County Veterans Memorial Association since 2021. The DCVMA uses these funds to support the needs of our local veterans and helps maintain the Veterans Memorial site just a few short blocks from the rink.
“Flight On Ice not only delivers holiday magic but also drives meaningful economic activity to local restaurants, shops, and attractions,” said Steve Byrne, Executive Director at Visit Delco, “It’s the kind of signature experience that highlights what makes Delaware County such a special destination—authentic community, local pride, and unforgettable memories. We encourage other local businesses to support this project to keep this Delco tradition alive for years to come.”
The Energy Transfer Veterans Memorial Rink is located at 4901 West Chester Pike, adjoining the Shoppes at Marville, and right next door to Starbucks and the Bonefish Grill. Flight on Ice’s winter attraction debuted in 2021 and has quickly become a beloved fixture in the community. The rink has delighted thousands of visitors in just four short years, garnering accolades such as “Best of Delco” for 2022, 2023, 2024 & 2025 for “Best Fun Day Family Outing,” as voted by readers of the Delaware County Daily Times.
This year, Flight On Ice promises to create an even more captivating winter wonderland. Patrons can look forward to an array of family-friendly fun, including a kids zone with moon bounces courtesy of One Stop Party Shop, spacious heated tents for comfort, a large LED TV Display, cozy fire pits to enjoy your S’mores, open-air gazebos, and much more. You can also expect a selection of food & refreshments covering all the basics, including nachos, pretzels, popcorn, candy, coffee, and hot chocolate.
Jon Schaffer, President of Flight Entertainment, shared his enthusiasm for another season, stating, “When we started this venture back in 2021 we couldn’t have imagined the popularity that we have gained in three short years. We are excited about opening for another season and our future prospects as we are in continued discussions to keep our rink in Delco for many years to come.”
Flight is known for its next level events and will release their full schedule soon, but keep an eye out for the annual Tree Lighting, an Eagles Autism Skate, Santa on a Firetruck, and a Kids Noon Years Eve Party on Dec. 31, just to name a few. Make sure you check our official events calendar at flightonice.com.
In the spirit of giving back, a portion of proceeds generated during this season will once again be donated to support the DCVMA.
“We are committed to carrying out the DCVMA’s mission of educating and inspiring our youth on the liberties made accessible to us by those who served this great country,” said Schaffer. “This season, once again, we are counting on the local community and our sponsors for their continued support to keep our dream alive.”
Mark your calendars as the Energy Transfer Veterans Memorial Rink opens to the public on November 21st, 2025, and will run through February 1st, 2026.
