The Patch

What is it?

The Patch is legendary for being “curling’s party place”! Fans are guaranteed a rockin’ good time, highlighted by a nightly lineup of games/live entertainment, and fuelled by a tasty selection of food and beverages.

You’ll have a number of opportunities to get to know the athletes at Up Close and Personal sessions!

The Patch is open to all general public. Minors permitted up to 8:00 p.m.
