Masquerade 2022 Roller Party - All Ages 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 family session runs 5:00-7:30 pm (see our other event for adult-only session running 8:30 - 11 pm).

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.

1. COVID-19 PROTOCOLS: read before purchasing

• Mask (properly fitted face covering) on at admissions and rental booths, optional for other areas.
• If you are unwell, do not attend.
• Subject to revision should the restrictions become greater from national, provincial, or municipal requirements.

2. TICKET PURCHASE CONDITIONS:

• YOUTH: Only parents/guardians can purchase for their own youths. (under 18 y.o.) You can not purchase a ticket for another person's youth. Youth need to wear helmets and if under 13 also be directly supervised by an adult on skates.

• ADULT: Purchase tickets ONLY for yourself. Each adult skater must purchase their own ticket, from a unique email and complete their own waiver.

• RENTAL: Rentals purchased without admission are not valid.

Any tickets under these conditions will be cancelled and costs are the purchaser's responsibility.

3. ADMISSIONS:

• Admission is strictly online, through Eventbrite. No cash at the door, no other services, nor resale.

• Admission alone does not reserve skate rentals, be sure to book them as a free add-on to your admission. If you have your own quads, or inlines you are welcome to wear those.

• Group purchases are not available. Each member of the group must purchase their own ticket.

• We will be running at a limited capacity. Book early. Eventbrite manages a wait list once sessions sell out.

4. FREE RENTALS:

• If needed, skate rentals must be booked as an add-on ticket
• Skate rentals must be booked no later than 30 hours before the event so that our volunteers can retrieve them from storage.
• Rentals are approximately shoe sizes (no half sizes).
• It is always advisable to bring a pair of thin and thick socks just in case as there are often no extras to swap sizes. Please wear socks regardless!

5. KEEPING IT SAFE
