Home » Inline Skating » Skating Tours & Travel » Skating festivalsFor the intermediate or advanced inline skater who only has a weekend available for skating fun, skating festivals are just for you. They are growing in popularity and are a relatively inexpensive mini- vacation. And of course, there couldn’t be a more perfect way to connect with the larger, world-wide inline skating community. There are two skate festivals in England: the Eastbourne Skate and Skate London. The Eastbourne Skate may be the largest of the inline skate festivals in the world with nearly 15,000 people attending. New York City hosts the Big Apple Roll in conjunction with the Central Park Skate Marathon. The Empire Skate Club of New York hosts the events. The Great Es-Skate is a charitable event held in Miami during the winter. The original skate festival is the Philly Freedom Skate held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Skate Boston is another popular skate festival, along with the WAR’s Memorial Day Weekend Skate in Washington, DC. Most of the festivals require pre-registration online and a registration fee, although the WAR’s Memorial Day Weekend Skate is free, but does not have all the bells and whistles of the other festivals.
