Explore » United States » Chicago » Updates » Get Ready for August: Chicago Heats Up with the Windy City Riot & R&B Rink Jams

What’s up, Chicago skaters! Get ready to mark up your calendars, because July was an absolute warm-up for an even hotter August. While our own Let’s Roll app has been a little quiet on the discovery front, the city itself is buzzing with some can’t-miss events that you need to know about. The energy is off the charts this month, offering something for every style of skater out there.

From the high-stakes action of an aggressive inline competition to soulful rink nights and a pop-up mini park, the Windy City is the place to be. We’ve got the scoop on major happenings like the Windy City Riot 2025, a full weekend dedicated to aggressive inline. If you’re looking for a more laid-back vibe, you can groove to some R&B at the Independence Roll XIV or hit up a pop-up mini park at the Zumiez More Than Rolling event. Let’s get out there and represent the Chicago skate family!
