The Christmas Village at Vineyard’s Greenline Promenade is planned as a weekend holiday gathering, but its outdoor ice rink is expected to remain open into February 2027. That longer schedule will extend the seasonal use of the promenade beyond the village’s planned final holiday market on Dec. 23, according to ABC4 Utah.
The village is a first for the Greenline and is scheduled to open Friday, Dec. 4, with a Vineyard community tree-lighting and rink-opening event from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. ABC4 reports that the program is to include a 40-foot tree, live reindeer and sleigh rides, Santa and Mrs. Claus, performances and a light tunnel. The village is also expected to feature a Christmas market, ice bumper cars and a s’mores station.

The schedule separates the market from the rink: the village is planned for Fridays and Saturdays, while the rink is set for weekday evenings and longer Saturday hours, with Sundays reserved for private rentals. ABC4 says the rink is scheduled to open earlier, at 11 a.m. Monday through Saturday, from Dec. 21 through Jan. 2. Its account does not specify admission prices or provide a vendor roster.
The holiday setup arrives amid a broader, phased buildout around Utah City. In April 2026, KSL reported that the development’s first phase was beginning to open and that its completed plan called for more than 50 acres of parks and walking paths. An April announcement also described a first phase of Greenline Waterfront Park and other amenities as planned for 2026; those were plans, not confirmation that each amenity opened on schedule, according to Utah Business.
The promenade’s setting also connects to Vineyard’s wider shoreline-trail work, though the trail and the Christmas Village are distinct projects. The Utah Lake Authority says Vineyard has been working with developers and other public agencies to complete the lake shoreline trail within city boundaries. That partnership provides a broader picture of public-realm projects taking shape near Utah Lake; it does not establish a direct connection between the trail and the seasonal village.
