In a heartwarming turn of events, the city of Alpine, Texas, is set to embrace the winter spirit in a unique way, with the opening of the much-anticipated Javelina’s on Ice Skating Rink. This community-led initiative, now seeing the light of day at Kishmish Plaza, located at 204 E. Holland Avenue, marks a significant milestone for the city, known for its vibrant community and scenic landscapes rather than its winter sports.
The project, initially facing hurdles in funding and timely construction, has overcome these challenges, proving the determination and resilience of the organizers and sponsors. Alpine’s own Javelinas on Holland Gift and Apparel Store, along with Chateau Wright and Transpecos Banks, have stepped in as sponsors, bringing the dream of ice skating in Alpine to fruition.

The announcement came with a wave of excitement following a recent update showcasing the construction progress at Kishmish Plaza, with organizers hinting at the seasonal fun to come with a cryptic “winter is coming” caption. This news has not only thrilled locals but also promises to attract visitors looking for a unique winter experience in the heart of Texas.
Javelina’s on Ice Skating Rink invites everyone to enjoy this winter wonderland, offering hours of entertainment and skate rentals. Details on operation times and rental information can be found on the official website at www.kishmish.events. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or stepping onto the ice for the first time, this rink offers a perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with family and friends.
The introduction of the ice skating rink is more than a seasonal attraction; it’s a testament to the community’s spirit and the power of collaborative efforts. As Alpine prepares to welcome skaters to its newest attraction, Javelina’s on Ice stands as a symbol of joy and community togetherness in the face of challenges, making this winter in Alpine one to remember.
