WHO ARE THE LEGENDS SKATERS?

LEGENDS attendees are generally skaters 25 years old and older. They appreciate classic style, old school energy and vibrant colors. They value skate history, cry when rinks close, and they mobilize to keep rinks open. LEGENDS skaters love their local and national skate communities. They love to dress up to honor their ancestors. We call them LEGENDS because they’ve seen it all: been there, done that and still skate through it all. We like to say BEE LEGENDARY in your behaviors, be a leader in the skate world. We make legendary memories when we come together. LEGENDS are the best of us.

Historical context for LEGENDS Gala in this 2022 promo for Anthem and concert. Started in 2019, LEGENDS Heels, Hats & Wheels Gala connects skaters from all over the country in the nation’ capital for a special weekend of roller skating and events at special venues across the greater District of Columbia region, including Anacostia Park Roller Skate Pavilion, The Anthem, the DC Armory, the Fillmore Silver Spring, The View of DC in Rosslyn, and The Wharf.

The LEGENDS Gala has gone viral with shares on Instagram by Oscar Winner Viola Davis, Beyonce's mom Tina Knowles, and many others.

Inspiration behind the Legends Heels, Hats & Wheels Gala

In 2018 the United Skates Documentary uncovered the back story of American roller skating and rink culture like we've never seen. The most impactful moments of the film for LEGENDS Gala event curator Saletta Coleman were the elders that shared their stories of denied access to rinks. Coleman, also an Associate Producer on the film found it necessary to honor their sacrifices and perseverance. Inviting the roller skating LEGENDS to Washington, D.C., where the Civil Rights movement has so many iconic moments made it the perfect city to celebrate their contributions in their own communities around the country.
