Get ready to roll, Portland, because July is shaping up to be an absolutely epic month for our skate community! The streets are calling, and the main event is the incredible Big Rose City Roll, a multi-day celebration of distance skating that brings our whole city together. Whether you’re joining the massive Saturday morning group skate or conquering one of the other routes, it’s the can’t-miss event for trail and street skaters.
But that’s not all! The energy is just as high indoors, where the fierce Rose City Rollers 2025 Home Team Championships will be decided. It’s the pinnacle of local derby, and the action will be intense. And for those looking for a classic rink session, Oaks Park Roller Rink continues to be the place, with beloved ongoing events like their ‘Gay Skate’ nights. From the thrill of competition to the joy of a group roll, July is packed with opportunities to celebrate skating in the Rose City!
