On Saturday, July 9, Rothman Orthopaedics Roller Rink, located on the west side of City Hall, will host a Christmas in July Skate from 1:30-3:30 p.m.
There will be festive, holiday-inspired snacks and crafts, and attendees can even expect a special guest appearance by a skating, sun-kissed Santa, who will stop to snap photos with children.
To top it all off, despite the July heat, skaters will experience a pop-up snow shower during the event.
Ho, Ho, Ho! Christmas is coming early at the @rothmanortho Roller Rink. On July 9, a sun-kissed Santa who traded his sleigh for a pair of skates will be rolling with us from 1:30-3:30, and will even take a break to snap some photos with kids. https://t.co/DkC5U6Te4c pic.twitter.com/vjyJhW1MNJ
