Friday Night Skate — Santa Monica / Venice — December 18, 2026

About this event

Friday Night Skate — Santa Monica / Venice is a weekly Friday-night urban inline and roller-skating session along the Santa Monica and Venice beachfront, organized through the Southern California Urban Inline/Roller Skating Meetup group. The organizer says the skate has been running for more than 20 years and happens every Friday at 9:00 PM. The December 18, 2026 occurrence meets in front of Santa Monica City Hall (City of Santa Monica, 1685 Main Street); participants are told to look for the people on skates by City Hall, and the published event window is 9:00–11:00 PM PST. The organizer describes an intermediate session covering roughly 10–15 miles and encourages skaters to bring friends. Attendance is free and the Meetup Attend action was open at verification; two attendees were displayed, but the live count is not a turnout forecast and no capacity, RSVP cutoff, waitlist, walk-up rule, age minimum, guardian requirement or event waiver is published. The exact route, pace, elevation, regroup stops, turnaround point and return-to-start guarantee are not posted. Skate supplies are available through the affiliated Knight Skate shop, and more discussion happens in the organizer Facebook group. The occurrence still carries the organizer wording “Don't forget a mask”; TrickBook preserves that wording without representing it as a current legal requirement. Because this is a moving night route on public streets and beach paths, bring suitable visibility and protective equipment and confirm the exact occurrence before travel. No event-specific helmet, lighting, weather threshold, cancellation policy, accessibility service, bag storage, livestream, competition format, judging, prizes or results is announced.
