Mark your calendars for a night of frosty fun and disco music on the ice. The city’s ROC, located at 3700 Monterey Drive, is hosting a Disco Ball Ice Skating event on Friday, January 17, where a DJ will set the winter evening ablaze with tunes and lights from 5:45 to 7:15 p.m. Ice skating under a shimmering disco ball is an opportunity for community members of all ages to glide to the beat, whether you're a seasoned skater or stepping onto the ice for the first time.

There's no fee to join the action; it is a community-centered event designed to bring people together in a celebration of the season and the sounds of disco. For those who don't own a pair of skates, rentals are conveniently available at a minimal cost of $3 per person. According to the event announcement, all are welcome to this family-friendly occasion that promises to be as much a social gathering as it is a skating experience.

The Disco Ball Ice Skating evening is one of several events aiming to strengthen community ties through shared experiences. With the chill in the air and the holiday season just a memory, such events serve as a reminder of the connections and recreational opportunities that persist throughout the colder months. The fun doesn't stop with this one night; another skating session is already scheduled for February 7, ensuring that the joy and laughter borne on the ice can continue into the next month.

For those unable to attend the January 17th event, are not out of luck—another disco-lit night is set for February 7, from 5:45 to 7:15 p.m. Families and friends who look forward to lacing up their skates can repeat the experience or catch it for the first time if they missed out. More details are available on the City of St. Louis Park official bulletin, where updates and announcements for future events are regularly posted.
