CINCINNATI – The wheels on the bus aren’t the only ones that will be going round and round this weekend. To kick off a month’s worth of celebrating 50 years of serving Hamilton County and Cincinnati, Metro is proud to team up with 3CDC to sponsor Frisch’s Mobile Roller Rink on Court Street Plaza with three days of skating alongside the iconic Cincinnati Music Festival (CMF).

– Saturday, July 22, 12-4 p.m.: Family Skate Party
 
“The Cincinnati Music Festival has been delighting music lovers since 1962, and we’re thrilled to partner with 3CDC to bring even more fun to the weekend,” said Metro CEO and General Manager Darryl Haley. “This is a special year for Metro as we celebrate 50 years of connecting people to jobs, education and health care – not to mention entertainment events like CMF. We’re honored to continue to roll out service improvements and game-changing transit options for the people of Hamilton County and Cincinnati.”

The price of admission for roller skating varies from $2-5 based on events, and outdoor roller skates will be available to rent for $5. Guests may also bring their own skates.
