The Skate Aloha 2006 Figure Skating Competition concludes today at the Ice Palace Skating Arena in the Stadium Mall across from Aloha Stadium.
Fifty-three skaters from Hawai'i and the Mainland are participating in the event, hosted by the Hawai'i Figure Skating Club.
The levels of the skaters range from beginners to senior-level skaters.
Admission to the competition is free.
"This is a local competition that we have," competition chairwoman Katharine C. Owen said. "It started 11 years ago because we wanted to get some competition in for our kids," so they did not always have to travel to the Mainland for events.
Today's competition runs from 2:30 to 6 p.m.
