This fall, the Family Skate and Dance Nights at Franconia Rec Center will feature a lively schedule. Skaters of all ages will enjoy the festive themes, tasty food and fun music of these skate nights hosted by the Fairfax County Park Authority.

Join the fun and break out your quad skates, inline skates or dancing shoes (bring your own skates/footwear) and take a spin around Franconia Rec Center’s gym floor. Each skate night includes music from a guest DJ, as well as food, snacks and drinks available for purchase (Please note that outside food/drink is not permitted). Tickets for everyone (skaters, dancers, spectators and chaperones) cost $10 and can be purchased in advance online. Or you buy them at the door for $15.

Bring your friends, family and best skating partners out for a groovy time!
