50 countries from all continents have confirmed their participation in this initiative and will organise various events with local skating clubs, rinks and national skating federations in a spirit of inclusion and joy.

Each country and local event will feature a series of free activities accessible to all ages and skating levels with the common goal of making the ice safe, fun and inclusive.
World Ice Skating Day is also a unique opportunity to get started in figure skating, speed skating and short track speed skating, all at the same time, through special performances by professional athletes and training sessions offered to the public.
