Get ready to lace up, Portland, because the spring skate scene is absolutely exploding with incredible events this May! While our Let’s Roll app community was busy enjoying the weather, the city’s official calendar has been lighting up. We’re talking about high-energy, can’t-miss action with the Roller Derby Weekend w/ Rose City Rollers at the beginning of the month. It’s the perfect way to witness some of the best derby talent around.
But that’s not all! The legendary Oaks Park is serving up some serious fun with their recurring Glow Skate and the much-anticipated annual Bowie Skate. And if you’re looking to level up your skills, Skate Journeys is offering an amazing variety of classes, including free sessions for outdoor skills and all levels. There’s truly something for every skater in the Rose City this month, so get out there and roll!
