Hangar Skate: A Very 80s New Year (Dec 31)

Hangar Skate is ringing in 2026 a little early with an afternoon celebration that fuses art, rhythm, and play. Glide into our retro 80s skate party featuring the iconic DJ Me Time, rink-wide freeze-dance moments, and glowsticks that light up the ice—perfect for families and anyone who won’t make it to midnight.

Countdown celebrations will happen at 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM, giving everyone two chances to kick off 2026 in style. Lace up for a mid-day skate party filled with throwback hits, neon flair, and family-friendly countdown fun.
