Making History at Capitol Skate Fest
POSTED 10.12.19

WASHINGTON, DC - Tell a friend – Bring a Friend.  Take a drive up or down the I-95 corridor.  Catch a plane, train or GET ON THE BUS!!!! This is OUR COMMUNITY, OUR MOMENT! 

Be there to make them aware that “Yes – We Still Skate!” This will be a historic event hosted by The District of Columbia - you don’t want to miss it.

When we go to a state fair or music festival and hear a song with a beat that makes us bounce, as skaters the first thing we do is daydream and imagine we have skates and wood. 

Dreams can come true and they will on Saturday, November 2 in Washington DC.  Food, skate vendors only, our music, our community, our skates and wood will be in a 10,000 square foot space customized for us.  Capital Skate Fest is NOT your weekend national skate party it is a never seen before tribute celebration of OUR roller skating!  For the DMV community of skaters, non-skaters and all of us within reach out DC to come together and show the country that “YES, we still skate and you should too!”  

Two rinks are being constructed to encourage new skaters and less experienced skaters to feel welcomed. The other for us more advanced.

One of the key goals of the event is to allow a new generation to experience the joy of skating while highlighting the past and present. 

The District of Columbia city government is looking to cultivate the arts and believe roller skating is a great one to start.  They have heard our song and witnessed our pain depicted in the documentary, United Skates.  They asked, if we consider supporting roller skating in this community, we need to know that the community will support it.

From this, Capital Skate Fest was conceived.  The DC Government would like to see for themselves what we do, how we roll and witness the collective spectacular talent we bring to the wood.
