The Big Avocado Roll is Los Angeles' largest annual inline (rollerblade) skate festival — a full week of free, community-led street skates that draws bladers from across the country and around the world to roll through the city's most iconic neighborhoods. The 2026 edition runs Monday, September 28 through Sunday, October 4, 2026, with a different host crew and route each night across Greater Los Angeles. The published program opens Monday 9/28 with the Sweet Valley Rollers skate from North Hollywood toward Downtown LA (meet 7:45 PM at the North Hollywood Metro station, 5350 Lankershim Blvd), followed by The Night Skate through DTLA on Tuesday 9/29 (8:00 PM, meet at the Hollywood Metro, 6815 Hollywood Blvd), a Long Beach roll on Wednesday 9/30 (8:00 PM, meet at the Main Lot, 380 E Shoreline Dr), a Beverly Hills skate led by the LA Skate Hunnies on Thursday 10/1 (8:00 PM, meet at the Beverly Hills sign, 9400 S Santa Monica Blvd), and a Santa Monica skate led by FNS on Friday 10/2 (gather 6:30 PM, rollout 8:00 PM at Santa Monica City Hall, 1685 Main St) with a 21+ after-party at Santa Monica Brew Works. Saturday 10/3 is the community hub day: a midday Workshop, Social Party & Raffle from 12–3 PM at Lemon Loft LA (1648 S La Cienega Blvd) featuring slalom and wizard-skating workshops, skate dancing, vendors, food and drinks, and a raffle with skates and gear prizes, then an evening ~12-mile DTLA night skate led by Jennyx (rollout 8:00 PM from The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, 152 N Central Ave). The week closes Sunday 10/4 with the 'Piles of Miles' morning distance skate (8:45 AM from Santa Monica City Hall), a beach skate at Ocean View Park in Santa Monica (1:00 PM), and an evening roll from Venice's Windward Plaza to a bonfire at Dockweiler Beach. Most roll-outs are pitched at an intermediate-to-advanced level and are free and open to anyone who shows up on skates; participants are responsible for their own safety gear, lights for night skates, and pace. Skate shops, plazas and pump tracks around the city — including the Venice Beach Skate Park and Plaza and the Inglewood Pump Track — host alternative sessions throughout the week. This record documents the upcoming 2026 festival; meet spots, host crews and exact times can shift, so confirm each night on the official site and the event's Facebook and Instagram before heading out.

The Big Avocado Roll (Los Angeles inline-skate community; nightly skates led by local crews incl. Sweet Valley Rollers, The Night Skate, LA Skate Hunnies, FNS, Jennyx, Piles o' Miles)

Open to the public on inline skates. Most roll-outs are rated intermediate-to-advanced (city streets, hills, night skating with traffic); the Saturday workshop is beginner-friendly. Skaters are responsible for their own gear and safety. The Friday Santa Monica Brew Works after-party is 21+ and requires valid ID and shoes.

Not a competition — The Big Avocado Roll is a community street-skating festival with no podium, standings or prize purse. The Saturday Social Party features a raffle (skates and gear). Recap photos and clips are typically shared afterward on the event's Instagram and Facebook.

CicLAvia—Heart of LA is a free, all-ages open-streets day on Sunday, October 11, 2026, when 6.5 miles of Los Angeles streets become a car-free route connecting Echo Park, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, the Arts District, Boyle Heights and Downtown. Participants may enter or leave anywhere between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM; there is no starting line, finish, race clock or required registration. Skateboarders, roller skaters, inline skaters and riders of non-motorized scooters are explicitly welcome alongside cyclists, runners, walkers and other people-powered travel. Four activity hubs anchor the route at Echo Park, Chinatown, Little Tokyo and Mariachi Plaza, with water-refill stations and ADA-compliant amenities. The route operates in both directions and includes notable elevation, dense mixed traffic and potentially steep sections, so CicLAvia recommends prior street-riding experience rather than using the event to teach a first-time rider. Keep right when moving slowly, pass on the left, obey volunteers and dismount where directed. Helmets are strongly recommended for everyone and are required by California law for riders under 18 using bicycles, scooters, skateboards or skates. Motorcycles, hoverboards, electric skateboards and electric scooters are prohibited; disability mobility devices are welcome. The event is rain or shine. Metro stations serve multiple points along the route, complimentary pedicabs run between hubs first come/first served, and limited bike rentals are planned at Echo Park and Little Tokyo. Street parking on the route is prohibited from 1:00 AM to 6:00 PM with towing enforced. The Little Tokyo Hub address below is a practical map anchor, not a mandatory check-in point.

CicLAvia

All ages and abilities are welcome with people-powered mobility, including skateboards, roller skates, inline skates and non-motorized scooters.

Open-streets community event, not a race; no formal results, scores, standings or podiums.

Spooky Skate is the City of Malibu Community Services Department’s free, all-ages Halloween skate jam at the permanent Malibu Skate Park inside Malibu Bluffs Park. From 3:00 to 6:00 PM on Friday, October 16, 2026, skateboarders, freestyle-scooter riders, roller skaters and inline skaters can use the park during a relaxed community session with festive music, food trucks, Witch Broom relay races, Zombie Tag and prizes. The official Rec listing classifies the program for all skill levels and currently shows free registration open with 98 spots remaining; participants must create or use a Rec account, add the $0 session to their cart and complete checkout. Spectators may attend without a ticket, but City rules keep spectators outside the active skate area. The current Skate Park rules require every rider—not only game participants—to wear a helmet, elbow pads and knee pads; children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. E-bikes and motorized equipment are prohibited, skating is limited to authorized riding areas, and food, drinks, glass and animals are not allowed inside the skate area. Malibu Bluffs Park lists parking, restrooms and ADA-accessible facilities, but no event-specific parking allocation, transit plan, equipment loans, costume rules, food-truck lineup, activity timetable, waiver terms, waitlist policy or rain date is published. Check the official event page and City channels before travel if weather or local emergency conditions could affect the outdoor park.

City of Malibu Community Services Department

Boarding For Breast Cancer's 19th Annual Skate The Coast is a two-day Los Angeles County skate-bike-roll fundraiser presented by LivOn Labs. The weekend opens Friday, October 23, 2026 with a 3:00–8:00 PM registration party at Firestone Walker's Venice Taproom in Marina del Rey, where participants can sign waivers, collect the included event tee and goodie bag, and stay for live music, drinks, raffles, and auctions. Saturday begins at 7:30 AM with a participant shuttle from Dive N Surf in Redondo Beach to the Santa Monica Pier. The main 15-mile coastal roll starts at 9:00 AM from the pier's north-side parking lot, follows the Strand with hydration stops at Arbor Venice and Marina del Rey Parking Lot #5, offers an 8-mile South Bay drop-in at Dockweiler State Beach at 11:00 AM, passes Noble Park in Hermosa Beach, and targets a 1:00 PM finish at Dive N Surf. A finish-line celebration runs there from noon to 4:00 PM with music, food, adult beverages, raffle prizes, a silent auction, and fundraiser awards. The ride is non-competitive and open to anyone on wheels of all ages and abilities; TrickBook classifies the eligible skate modes as skateboarding and rollerblading while noting that bicycles and other human-powered wheels are also welcomed by the organizer. Registration is active through the official campaign. There is no fixed entry fee published, but every skater must raise at least $50. Entry includes the shirt, goodie bag, and raffle tickets; every $100 raised earns ten extra raffle tickets, raising more than $150 earns Yeti drinkware, and prizes go to the top three individual and team fundraisers. A virtual option lets remote participants register, roll a local path, post with @b4bc and #skatethecoast, receive a mailed shirt, and earn one virtual raffle ticket per $10 raised. The organizer has not published capacity, a registration cutoff, a waitlist, detailed road-control or emergency support, youth guardian terms, required protective equipment, a weather policy, refunds, or a livestream, so participants should recheck the live campaign before travel.

This is a mellow, non-competitive coastal group roll, not a judged skate contest or timed race. Recognition is based on fundraising: prizes go to the top three individual fundraisers and top three teams. The organizer does not publish tie-breaks, award values, or the fundraiser leaderboard cutoff time.

Boarding For Breast Cancer (B4BC)

Anyone on wheels, all ages and abilities. The published activity is a non-competitive skate-bike-roll; skateboarders and inline/roller skaters fit TrickBook, while bicycles and other human-powered wheels are also welcomed. Participants may take the full 15-mile route, join the final 8-mile leg at Dockweiler, or register virtually.

No registration deadline or sales cutoff is published on the live organizer page or campaign.

Registration includes an event tee, goodie bag, and raffle tickets. Each $100 raised earns ten extra raffle tickets; raising more than $150 earns Yeti drinkware. Prizes go to the top three individual and team fundraisers. Virtual participants receive one virtual raffle ticket per $10 raised and may enter the social photo contest.

The event is upcoming. The live campaign shows fundraising progress and leaderboards, but there are no athletic results because the coastal roll is non-competitive.

Blading Cup USA returns to the East End of Downtown Santa Ana on November 6–7 for a two-day aggressive-inline street competition and community gathering. Founded by Jon Julio in 2011, the event now draws skaters and spectators from more than 20 countries and combines purpose-built street obstacles with a skate-industry trade show, product discovery, and scene programming. The live organizer form currently accepts seven junior, veteran, amateur, and professional street divisions from $30 to $70, requires competitor details, division selection, payment, and an event liability waiver, and exposes real-time remaining inventory by division. The public roster showed eight competitors from four countries at verification. Exact daily opening times, check-in windows, run format, judging rules, prizes, trade-show hours, premieres, after-parties, and awards timing have not yet been published. Rollerblade lists 216 East 4th Street as the event anchor while Travel Santa Ana lists 253 East 3rd Street and says the festival occupies multiple downtown locations; use the East End as the canonical venue and recheck the final course map before travel. The organizer has not announced a spectator ticket, admission price, livestream, weather plan, or event-specific accessibility route.

Aggressive-inline competitors may enter a listed Junior, Veteran, Amateur, or Pro street division while inventory remains. Junior divisions are explicitly 16 and under.

Upcoming event; no results yet. The live roster reported eight registered competitors from the United States, New Zealand, Japan, and Australia at verification. Results, standings, brackets, judging criteria, prizes, and an official replay are not yet published.

Thanksgiving Break 1-Day Skate Camp is a three-hour youth progression session at Costa Mesa Skate Park on Friday, November 27, 2026, from 9:00 AM to noon. The City of Costa Mesa Parks & Community Services lists the camp as Fall 2026 activity #22601 and contracts Skate Coastal to instruct it. The program explicitly welcomes skateboards, inline skates and roller skates, giving both skateboarders and recreational inline skaters a supported way to participate. Beginners work on balance, pushing, stopping and ramps, while experienced riders can develop tricks, grinds and combinations through games and coached riding time. The official registration listing is open to mixed-gender participants who are at least five and under thirteen years old, and it describes the camp as suitable for all experience levels. At the September 13 inventory check, the live City portal displayed 25 openings remaining. The fee detail showed $95.88 for Costa Mesa residents and $101.21 for nonresidents, including estimated processing fees; final charges are calculated at checkout. Enrollment uses the City’s ActiveCommunities account flow and requires signing in or creating an account before adding activity #22601. Participants must bring their own skateboard or skates and safety gear unless they arrange a rental directly with Skate Coastal. Costa Mesa Skate Park rules require a helmet plus knee and elbow pads, prohibit BMX bikes and scooters, and do not allow spectators inside the skate area. Skate Coastal’s general camp guidance also lists wrist guards as required, uses a maximum six-to-one student-to-coach ratio, and says rain-affected programs may move indoors or be rescheduled with email or text notice; the City listing does not publish a camp-specific rain site or makeup date. This is a coached camp rather than a contest, so there are no competitive divisions, rankings, prizes, results or livestream. The concrete 15,000-square-foot city skatepark includes street terrain, bowls and a pool area. The event listing does not publish a final enrollment cutoff, separate waiver file, drop-off/check-in window, lunch service, adaptive-equipment plan or guaranteed rental inventory, so families should confirm those details with Skate Coastal or Costa Mesa recreation before arrival.

City of Costa Mesa Parks & Community Services

Mixed-gender youth at least age 5 and under age 13. The City description welcomes beginners through experienced riders using skateboards, inline skates or roller skates. Participants bring their own wheels and safety equipment or contact Skate Coastal in advance about rental options.

Upcoming noncompetitive youth camp; no heats, rankings, podiums or results apply.
