Join NWSCDC for an evening of roller skating, music and free food! MKE Rec is bringing their Skate Van to the MMSD West Basin site, providing free roller skate rentals for kids and adults. Bring the whole family! Free food will be provided (*while supplies last).

All ages and skill levels are welcome!

Remember to bring socks with you for skating! If you would like to use your own personal rollerblades or skates, you can bring those with you as well. Walk-ups are welcome, advanced RSVPs are appreciated.

*Free food will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until we run out. Even if an RSVP form is filled out in advance, it does not guarantee a meal.
