Roller Skate Party: August

BEATS + SKATES events offer a unique blend of skate culture, dance, visual art and music production for the masses. Join the fun, skill-sharing environment at the skate trail featuring live painting by a local street artist. Roll and dance the night away to tunes from J YOUNG and Ms. Myles. 

Meet us on our  figure-eight skate trail for our monthly Roller Skate Parties and roll with The Bentway in partnership with BEATS + SKATES and The Melanin Skate Crew! 

Whether you have superfly moves to share, or are working on the basics, all are encouraged to groove under the Gardiner together. Expect live DJs, and a group skate demo. As always, skating gear rentals are available on-site with SUSO Skate Co. (pre-book to guarantee your size and time slot!). It’s the best summer night vibe! 

This year, our skate crew hosts are putting a creative spin on these parties through added art, creative expression, and social connection, while further amplifying the roots of roller skate culture. Check out what BEATS + SKATES and The Melanin Skate Crew have lined up each month.

See you on the Skate Trail!
