Break out those Rollerblades, or even your old-school, four-wheeled lace-ups: the long awaited roller rink takeover of Bayfront Park makes its debut on February 26.
Known as Bay Skate, the project won the Miami Foundation’s Public Space Challenge last year, and the plan is to wow Miamians with an evening of skating, celebrities, funky tunes, food, drinks, and nonstop throwbacks.
Marcos Macias is bringing the project to fruition with the help of his brother Alex and the rest of the team at Macias Advertising, plus a whole host of other partners and participants.
Originally, the idea was to recreate the Monday night skate scene at Miami’s famous Hot Wheels roller rink. They moved the day to Thursday, however, to draw a bigger crowd.
The plan is to set up a rink surrounding Bayfront Park’s Pepper Fountain.
