Christmas Roller Rink
A free DJ-soundtracked roller-skating arena has popped up in Carlton for the festive season.
Overview
Fancy rolling through the festive season without a care in the world — on eight wheels? You can do just that in Carlton's Argyle Square this month thanks to the Melbourne Christmas Festival's new pop-up Christmas Roller Rink.
Yep, from Friday, December 16–Saturday, December 24, the precinct is being reimagined as an openair roller-skating arena, complete with giant neon decorations, a towering Christmas tree and plenty of room to show off your wheely good moves.
Open daily from 11am until 9 or 10pm, the rink is free to ride, with skate hire available for $5 and bookings made online. There'll be classic tunes to soundtrack your spin, while local DJs like OMG Becky, Sophie Joy and Pixelton are set to grace the decks across the weekend of December 16–18.
Meanwhile, the adjoining Piazza Italia is a primo spot for a post-spin picnic — especially since Carlton Inc will be running giveaways and handing out free Italian eats here right throughout the festive season.
