Brandon Negrete Memorial Skate Session — Paramount 2026

About this event

The annual Forever Negrete gathering returns as a memorial skate session at Village Skate Park in Paramount on Sunday, November 8, 2026, from noon to 5:00 PM PST. Joey Graziano’s first-party announcement says this year’s session replaces the usual memorial barbecue: the focus is skating, reconnecting, sharing stories and celebrating Brandon Negrete during Blading Cup weekend. The announcement is a public invitation and publishes no ticket, RSVP, contest, judging, divisions, prizes or formal rider entry, so this is listed as an open community session rather than a competition. Village Skate Park is a City of Paramount facility at 7718 Somerset Boulevard with a 12,500-square-foot skate area and restrooms. City law expressly permits inline and roller skates, requires every skater to wear a helmet, elbow pads and kneepads, limits spectators to designated areas, prohibits animals, alcohol and glass, and closes public skate facilities during rain, rainy conditions or other wet-surface conditions. The event post does not publish capacity, a waiver or guardian policy, parking/transit instructions, an accessibility plan, food service, a detailed run of show or a cancellation contact. The organizers specifically say the usual large memorial meal is not part of this year’s gathering; attendees should plan accordingly, bring complete protective gear, and check the exact post and @bladingcup before travel for any day-of change. Paramount is in southeast Los Angeles County, about 18 road miles from downtown Los Angeles.
