ROCHESTER, Minn.—Skaters participating in Roller Disco presented by Rochester Downtown Alliance and Destination Medical Center October 9-10 will soon be movin’ to the disco groove.

A 22 foot by 28 foot roller rink will be installed to transform Peace Plaza into a temporary outdoor roller-skating venue. In addition to skating, Roller Disco attendees will enjoy the following:

To add to the experience, Peace Plaza will be decked out with a disco ball and party lighting in addition to the outdoor roller rink.

Roller Disco attendees are asked to either bring their own roller skates—in-line skates are not allowed—or rent them for free onsite.
