The Windy City Rollers will help Chicagoans experience State Street and the Loop in an unprecedented way on Saturday, October 1st, at Open Streets on State Street, a free event promoting community culture in Chicago, presented by the Chicago Loop Alliance and Active Transportation Alliance.

Traverse one of Chicago’s historic streets in a decidedly different way. Bring your bikes, skates, strollers and sneakers to make use of a seven-block stretch of State Street, from Lake to Van Buren, free of traffic and full of fun, healthy activities.
 
WCR will be on the scene from 10 AM – 3 PM. Stop by to meet the skaters, as well as to see roller derby demonstrations.
