Ironworks Plaza

In the winter months, the Ironworks Ice Rink offers ice skating and unique ice activities like bumper cars, catering to all skill levels. Sessions require online booking. In the summer months, Ironworks Plaza hosts special events, live music performances to include the Mishawaka Summer Concert Series, and the Mishawaka Market, adding to the year-round vibrant atmosphere of the area.
