SCHEDULE

Four themed group skates across the weekend (Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday evening, Sunday morning), plus social time, food, and live music in between.

Friday, September 25 — Evening

🎸 "Rock-n-Roll" — Texas Capitol → Congress Avenue → Bat Bridge

When: Arrive 6:00 pm, roll out 7:00 pm, back by ~9:00 pm

Where: Metz Neighborhood Park, 2401 Canterbury St, Austin, TX 78702

Friday runs on its own schedule. Metz is the meet-up spot, the cookout, and the Underground Disco (6:00-10:00 pm) all in one. Come at 6 and enjoy some good music, company, and food at the cookout and the Disco before we keep the vibes going on our rock and roll route!

Rock & roll themed costumes and t-shirts are encouraged but not required.

The Underground Disco: a pop-up skater / all-wheels-welcome rolling dance party. Think skating at your favorite rink, but outdoors and with amazing live DJs. Whether you're skating, dancing, or just soaking in the music and the sunset, everyone is welcome. All ages. All wheels. One unforgettable night.

Friday cookout: we're grilling at Metz starting at 6:00 pm. SK8 ATX is covering the basics - hot dogs (all beef), hamburgers, buns, water, and condiments. Want to add to it? Bring chips, desserts, or your own drinks (BYOB).
