Santa Monica, CA (The Hollywood Times) 8/11/24 – I had the pleasure of attending the Grand Opening Celebration of Roll @ Santa Monica, a new seasonal roller-skating rink brought to life by Downtown Santa Monica, Inc. This unique addition to the Santa Monica landscape has been the talk of the town, and I was happy to experience it firsthand.
The event, held on Saturday afternoon, perfectly captured the essence of summer in Santa Monica. The energy was palpable as the community gathered to celebrate the launch of this vibrant new attraction. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the festive atmosphere — colorful decorations, upbeat music, and the enthusiasm of the crowd set the stage for an unforgettable experience.
One of the highlights of the event was the performance by LA Skate Hunnies. Their high-energy routines and stylish moves on skates were a crowd favorite, drawing cheers and applause from the audience. Their presence truly elevated the event, showcasing the blend of skill and showmanship that Roll @ Santa Monica aims to deliver throughout the season.
The themed skate nights, scheduled for every second Wednesday of the month, promise to keep the excitement going long after the grand opening. From retro disco nights to themed costume parties, these events are set to offer something special for skaters of all ages. The group skating lessons, held every Saturday and Sunday morning, are another standout feature, offering both adults and children a chance to hone their skills and enjoy the rink in a supportive and fun environment.
What struck me most about Roll @ Santa Monica was its ability to bring people together in a joyful and inclusive way. The rink isn’t just a place to skate; it’s a community hub where people can connect, have fun, and make lasting memories. DTSM, Inc.’s investment in this project reflects a broader commitment to enhancing recreational experiences in Santa Monica and fostering a sense of community.
It was a delight to witness the energy and excitement surrounding Roll @ Santa Monica. The event was a testament to the vibrant spirit of Santa Monica and the creative vision of DTSM, Inc. If you’re looking for a fresh and lively addition to your summer plans, Roll @ Santa Monica is definitely worth a visit.
For those interested in exploring more about this dynamic new addition to Santa Monica’s cultural scene, I highly recommend checking out the rink and experiencing the fun firsthand.
