The Newmarket Youth Leadership Group is planning an outdoor skating event for the community on February 24th, 2023. The goal of "Disco Skate Night" is to encourage youth and teenagers to get outside and experience the Canadian Winter while having fun with friends. We hope to attract the youth and teenagers by hosting a night filled with skating, music, food, and a costume contest.

The event will be hosted at the Newmarket Riverwalk Commons. At Riverwalk Commons, there is an outdoor skating rink where the skating will take place. The skating will be accompanied with live music played by a DJ. In addition, food trucks and a hot chocolate stand will be set up a distance away from the skating rink to provide a space for food and refreshments, and a social area off of the ice for anyone to interact with their friends. Towards the end of the night, we will also host our costume contest. Leading up to our event, we will promote the wearing of costumes on the night in order to increase the spirit of the event. Throughout the night, a few of the best costumes will be selected for a final vote where the top three costumes will win a prize.

Through skating, music, food, and a costume contest, the Newmarket Youth Leadership Group is excited to host a fun and interactive night for teenagers and youth to participate in the community during the Canadian Winter. We are confident that the event will attract many people and are positive that we will be able to provide a positive experience for anyone who attends!
