Event Series: Watershed Weekend

Retro Skate 4 with Eric Chase

Cumulus Media Toledo and Eric Chase present Retro Skate 4

Featuring music by DJ A-Dubb and sound powered by Subdermal Soundsystem

Roll back the clock and hit The Ribbon roller trail for a night of music, roller skates and retro vibes. Hosted by Q105’s Eric Chase, this community-favorite skate party brings classic roller rink energy to the riverfront during Watershed Weekend.

Skates will be available to rent on-site, or bring your own and join the fun. Lace up and glide under the lights while a soundtrack of throwback hits and crowd favorites keeps the party going all evening.

Free and open to the public, the Retro Skate Party is a chance to gather with friends, dance on wheels and experience one of the Riverwalk’s most visited spaces.
