EXPERIENCE A GOLDEN SKATE AT ISI SAN FRANCISCO FALL CLASSIC!

Join us in the City by the Bay for the 2026 ISI San Francisco Fall Classic, Oct. 24–25 at the spectacular Yerba Buena Ice Skating & Bowling Center. “There’s only one drawback (according to the late author and poet Rudyard Kipling) — it’ll be hard to leave!”

ISI San Francisco Fall Classic will offer most of our individual and team events for skaters of all ages and skill levels. Test and entry deadline is Sept. 2.

Opened in 1998, Yerba Buena Ice Skating & Bowling Center is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of San Francisco’s walkable Yerba Buena district. The rink overlooks the beautiful Yerba Buena Gardens, featuring green areas, a playground and the Children’s Creativity Museum.

The facility also features a full-service pro shop offering skate fittings, skate sharpening and skate repairs, as well as skates, hockey equipment, apparel and accessories.

Plus, the adjacent bowling center, with 12 lanes, offers skaters the unique opportunity to continue their fun while off the ice.

OCTOBER BY THE BAY

Did you know that October is considered the heart of “Second Summer” in San Francisco? Some of the city’s best weather occurs during this time of year — days are warmer, sunnier and less foggy than in summer, making it an ideal time to explore the iconic sights after competing in this golden event.
