Dear Skate Family,
We are just a few months away from Soul Skate 2020! We look forward to hosting you here in Detroit! We are tremendously grateful for each and every person who has spent their time and money to attend our events over the years!
Since 2007, our party has grown tremendously thanks to your endless support. However, with this growth, has come some challenges. Anyone that attended Soul Skate 2018 knows first hand the issues that we all faced due to the extremely large crowd, specifically on Saturday night. We never anticipated a crowd of that magnitude. Many of you expressed your level of concern with the overcrowding, heat, safety concerns, etc. However, thanks to your patience, respect and skate love, there were no injuries.
In order to safely accommodate our skaters, we will be adding an additional rink on Saturday night. We want to inform everyone that there is a drastically reduced capacity limit of 700 in place at Northland Roller Rink on Saturday and Sunday nights. We were recently informed by the rink owner that the city of Detroit has reduced the capacity with a new city ordinance.
The entire Soul Skate team wants to ensure the safety and comfort of everyone in attendance. We want to be completely transparent prior to your arrival to Detroit with any changes that may affect your experience and your decision to come to Soul Skate 2020. Below please find changes for this year’s event as well as the full itinerary. We truly apologize for any delay and thank you for your patience. We hope you will understand our appreciation and commitment to our skate family.
In Respect and Detroit Love, Team Soul Skate….
