Rainbow Dome is co-hosting Adams County Pride 2024 at Riverdale Regional Park. There will be a pop-up roller rink in the Expo Hall, featuring artwork, DJs, and a roller skating performance choreographed by SK8D8! Enjoy a full day of activities in addition to roller skating, with local vendors, food, music, and games. There will be free skate rentals available (kids sizes through men’s size 14, available on a first come, first served basis). This is a family-friendly event. 

This year, we are excited to bring in SK8D8, who is choreographing a special roller dance for the event. SK8D8 will also offer pop-up, informal lessons to interested participants. Find their booth inside the Expo Hall next to the practice rink to learn more. 

For more information on vendors and the musical line up, visit the event page on Adams County’s website, which will be updated periodically.
