Friday Night Vibes: Lace Up, Hit the Rink, and Boogie at Dix Park

It’s time to dust off those vintage wheels and show off your best rink moves…

On Friday, Oct. 30, 2026, the historic Chapel at Dorothea Dix Park is transforming into a massive pop-up roller rink for Skate Night. The early evening rolls are open to all ages (limited tickets remain), making it a solid excuse to get the whole family out of the house and moving.

As the sun goes down, the floor shifts to a dedicated 18-and-up session for the adults to take over the tunes (sold out). You can bring your own trusty pair of skates from home, or easily reserve a rental pair when you snag your tickets online.

📍 The Chapel at Dorothea Dix Park – 1030 Richardson Dr., Raleigh, NC 27603
📅 Friday, Oct. 30, 2026 | 5-10 p.m.
💰 Free to attend – Tickets required (rental options available online)

Start stretching those calves now, and hopefully you can stay upright!
