Motor City, what a month! July put Detroit’s incredible skate scene on the national stage with the massive Sk8City313 Weekend, bringing skaters from all over the country to our legendary rinks. It was the perfect spotlight on what we already know: Detroit is a top-tier skate city. But the big national events are just part of the story. The real magic is in the weekly rhythm of our community, from the amazing free outdoor sessions of Rollin' on the River along the waterfront to the consistent adult skate nights that keep the vibe alive all month long.
Whether you’re a seasoned vet or just getting your wheels under you, the energy is undeniable. Our own Let’s Roll skaters have been busy rediscovering local gems and sharing the stoke. As we roll into August, let’s keep this momentum going! This guide breaks down the spots, events, and community spirit that made the last month unforgettable and sets the stage for what’s next.
Detroit's Legendary Rinks
Our Let’s Roll community has been exploring the rinks that form the backbone of the Detroit scene. This month, skaters were checking in at the iconic **Bonaventure Skating Rink**, a spot that proved its legendary status by hosting the main event for the Sk8City313 national weekend. It’s places like this that make our city a true skate destination.
