Winter Blast has been a super fun yearly event in Royal Oak. There will be things for the whole family to do and enjoy.

Annual Winter Blast Back in Downtown Royal Oak

Winter Blast has been a staple around here and it will be taking over the streets of Downtown Royal Oak again next year. It’s happening February 2nd through the 4th, the weekend before the Super Bowl. Once again it’s going to feature live music, free ice skating, a snowboard experience, zip lining, ice sculptures, and food trucks galore. So, make sure that you mark that on your calendar. There’s more info at this link… https://www.winterblast.com/

Diddy has another deal fall through. Cassie has plans to perform.

Diddy TV Show Cancelled & Cassie Tour Rumors

The Diddy backlash continues. He was dropped from 18 different partnerships after sexual misconduct allegations came out against him. And just yesterday, Hulu severed ties on a reality television series, “Diddy Plus 7”, that would have featured him and all his children. I guess it was just in the preliminary stages, but now that’s no longer happening for him.

Then, according to Ryan Leslie, Cassie is planning on touring. But honestly, it’s not clear if he had this conversation with her before or after the lawsuit. So, that kind of changes the context a little bit for me or how people would view going on tour and taking advantage of the situation. She did perform recently and said that it was the first time she’s ever been able to perform on her own terms.

Explore The Best Outdoor Ice Skating Rinks In Metro Detroit

Without question, ice skating outdoors is just absolutely magical! There’s just something about gliding across a frozen pond or charming outdoor ice skating rinks that puts a smile on your face. It’s like an instant winter wonderland experience especially if a few flakes are falling from the sky!

First of all, the scenery is out of this world. You’re surrounded by shimmery white snow. It’s like being inside a Christmas card. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that? Now, I was never one to be outdoors in the winter, but that has changed. I love that refreshing blast of cold air smacking you in the face. Yes, it can be a little chilly, but let’s be honest, if you’re prepared, it just adds to the whole experience. It’s invigorating! Just bundle up in warm clothing, hats, scarves, and mittens. That sounds cozy, even in the cold, and if you’re like me, I like cozy.

But let’s not forget the best part. I’m talking about the actual skating. There’s just something about gliding over the ice that brings out the kid in all of us. It’s so much fun. Whether you’re mastering those wicked turns or just trying not to fall like me, it’s all about having fun. Plus, when you’re outside, there’s a lot more room to twirl, spin, and jump. And if the rink has things like hot cocoa or a fire pit for a break to enjoy some warmth that is even better.

While I now love the outdoors in general, I really love outdoor ice skating because it’s an enchanting, exhilarating experience that brings out the joy and excitement of winter. So grab your skates, bundle up, and get ready to hit the ice. It’s time to make some memories. Check out some of these great outdoor ice skating rinks right here in Metro Detroit. Please be sure to check ahead as most of the outdoor ice rinks are weather dependent.
