A Party Like No Other… Join us at beautiful River Park Square for the ultimate party. FanFest is a celebration of fans and supporters from near and far who love the sport of figure skating and enjoy meeting others who share the same passion. FanFest is "the place to meet friends and make new ones." Catch an inside glimpse of what's in store for the 2010 U.S. Figure Skating Championships by participating in food and drink sampling, autograph signing, and live entertainment. In addition to three wonderful restaurants inside River Park Square, you will be amazed at the entertainment available downtown, all providing special hours and staffed to accommodate the fans.
No matter what, you'll return with memories that will last a lifetime. In 2007, we packed FanFest. In 2010, we've moved to beautiful River Park Square to have even more room. Don't miss this opportunity for a truly unique experience that you'll never forget! And did we mention it is FREE and open to everyone!
