Explore » United States » Dallas » Updates » Roll Into January: Dallas Celebrates with 'Skating for Scholarships' & New Rink Vibes!

What’s up, Dallas skaters! The energy in the DFW is absolutely electric right now, and it feels like we’re riding a massive wave of pure skate nostalgia. The Dallas Observer recently highlighted this trend, noting how roller rinks are making a huge comeback. And speaking of comebacks, the whole community is buzzing about the brand-new Galaxy Skate in Grapevine, which just opened its doors to bring back that cosmic 90s feel we all love.

But it’s not just about the new spots; it’s about the heart of our community. The absolute can’t-miss event this month was the 12th annual SKATING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS, a massive five-night fundraiser that brought us all together for a great cause. From street skates like the weekly Tuesday Night Skate to festive sessions like The Wave & Roll Jingle Skate!, Dallas proved once again that our skate family is thriving. Let’s keep this momentum rolling into the new year!
