This year we saw an amazing growth of parties on roller skates in Europe.
Organized skate parties are of particular importance for the roller skating culture in Europe, because of the limited numbers of steady roller skating rinks. I can remember, that few years ago there were a dozen of – in Europe so-called – rollerdiscos each year in UK, The Netherlands or Germany. Now in 2016 more than 200 events took place. From local roller skate parties to large festivals.
Also in 2017 I will list the skate parties which I will become aware of in the calendar of events. So interest in roller skating is increasing and we can look forward to another year skating at great events, meeting nice skaters, and enjoying the skate life.
