NORFOLK, Va. – It’s time to lace up your roller skates!
MacArthur Center is opening Hampton Roads’ first outdoor roller rink on Friday, June 2.
Tickets are $12 per person and include skates.
The rink will be open every Thursday through Sunday with themed dance parties and entertainment with a DJ.
People will be able to skate around the rink to their favorite music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. One of the Roller Disco nights will be country music themed, where skaters can try line dancing in roller skates!
Skaters can cool off during a Christmas in July event, where they can skate under falling snow. Jolly ol’ Saint Nick will make a special appearance as he skates to seasonal tunes.
The Roller Disco nights will coincide with the Friday Night Food Truck Rodeos happening on the MacArthur Center Green.
