Rollin’ on the River

Artboard 1

May 22 - 25 on the Riverfront at Gateway Arch National Park
Open from noon - 8 p.m. daily

Riverfront

Come roll with us! 

Gateway Arch Park Foundation is bringing back those warm, summer memories of hanging out on the riverfront with your family and friends. Feel that river breeze, groove to live music, and lace up your skates (or rent them) for our pop-up roller rink. If skating is not for you, grab a bite from a local food truck and sit next to your neighbor at our 200-foot communal table. With local vendor tents and organizations to explore, this is a celebration of you, St. Louis - a celebration on the river that made us, under the glowing Arch that represents us to the world. Everyone is welcome. Come roll with us!
