Ogden is getting ready to trade every day's ice time for the sport's biggest spotlight as the LGT World Men’s Curling Championship rolls into town this Friday, March 27. The 10-day event at the Weber County Ice Sheet is set to draw top teams, officials and fans from around the globe, and everyone from the Golden Hours senior center to downtown shop owners is gearing up. Organizers are expecting packed sessions and a brisk run for local hotels and restaurants through April 4.
When and where
The LGT World Men’s Curling Championship runs March 27 through April 4, according to the World Curling Federation, and will be staged at Ogden’s Weber County Ice Sheet. The Ice Sheet, which hosted Olympic curling in 2002 and lists a capacity of roughly 2,300, is the official venue, per the Weber County Ice Sheet. Fans should expect round robin draws on most days and playoff sessions late in the week.
Tickets and volunteers
Single-session tickets and multi-day packages went on sale this month and are still available through local organizers, according to a Visit Ogden press release. As noted by Visit Ogden, choices include full event and weekend packages while supplies last. Volunteer spots for ice crew, hospitality and event operations are also open, with the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation and local sports partners providing sign-up details for residents who want to get closer to the action.
Golden Hours and local prep
Ogden City shared on Facebook that the Golden Hours Senior Recreation Center is “ready” to welcome guests and related programming during the championship, underscoring the community flavor around the event. The Golden Hours center serves adults 50 and older and offers classes, lunches and rentals at 650 25th Street in Ogden, according to Ogden City recreation pages. City staff have been coordinating volunteers and venue logistics to keep Golden Hours programming running smoothly while the Ice Sheet hosts the competition.
Plan ahead for fans
Expect busy downtown streets and limited on-site parking during peak sessions, so organizers recommend arriving early and double-checking session times before heading out. The Weber County Ice Sheet has maps along with parking and transit tips to help visitors plan their trip. For volunteer roles or media inquiries, the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation lists contacts and sign-up information on its event page.
