ROC Holiday Village opening rental igloos for New Year’s Eve

Groups still wanting to rent an igloo at the ROC Holiday Village may be disappointed unless they’re looking for time on New Year’s Eve.

The downtown festival site, now in its second year, provides a mix of entertainment, food, drink, shopping and accommodations for private parties in a festive, open-air holiday atmosphere.

Starting on Monday at 10 a.m., reservations will be open for the igloo rentals on Dec. 31. ROC Holiday Village runs for 14 days spread between Dec. 6 and 31. Though the igloos, which accommodate six to eight people, are all booked through Dec. 29, some slots are still open during the earlier part of the run for the large Igloo Inn shelters, accommodating up to 25 people.
