A giant retro-style roller rink opens in Calgary next month & it will be FREE to skate this summer

With the sun in the sky, Calgary’s Deerfoot city wants to let the good times roll – in the literal sense! This summer, lace into a pair of skates and glide through the season at the third annual Block Party in partnership with art-forward organization, PARK.

Celebrating local creators and community spirit – Calgary’s NE shopping hub invites you to check out their ’70s-inspired roller rink and installation when it opens in Calgary on July 1st.

Featuring interactive pieces from Sarah Lamoureux, Rachel Rivera and Claire Ouchi (of the WKNDRS), Tyler Lemermeyer, and Natalia Ionescu – this vibrant event will run throughout the summer and is FREE to attend.
