The inaugural
Bay Skate Miami event, winner of the Miami Foundation's "Public Space Challenge", will officially launch on Thursday, Feb 26th at Bayfront Park. The FREE event will be in support of activating our public parks, giving back to our local community, supporting an active lifestyle, and promises to bring a one-of-a-kind roller skating and music experience to the heart of Downtown Miami. (General Session 5-7pm / Adult Skate Session 7:30-11pm)
Emcee'd by classic hip hop legend
Da Real Monie Love, and fueled by live music sets from top DJs, Bay Skate will set the vibe for an old-school, nostalgic experience where guests can skate, dance, eat, drink, and play.
