Masquerade 2022 Roller Party - Adult Session

We’re throwing our season of roller parties for 2022, setting up the smooth concrete floor of the Horticulture Building with lights, grooves, and lots of roller rentals. Join us there!

This adult only session runs from 20:30-23:00 (see our other event for the all ages session running 17:00-19:30).

This fundraiser event is organized by the Ottawa Quad Rollerskating Club, a non-profit and volunteer-run organization dedicated to promoting recreational rollerskating in Ottawa.
