If you’ve never experienced one of his sets before, this is your chance to see what all the hype is about.

Location: Sunrise Rollerland

This epic event’s venue is Sunrise Rollerland, a beloved roller-skating rink in Citrus Heights. Conveniently located just 20 minutes northeast of Sacramento, Sunrise Rollerland is known for its spacious hardwood floors and retro vibes that make it perfect for an old-school skate party. Whether local or visiting from out of town, this spot is easy to find and worth the trip.

And don’t worry if you don’t own skates—quad skate rentals are included with your ticket! Just bring yourself some comfy socks and your best moves.

Tickets: Plan Ahead to Save

Tickets are available now, and here’s the deal: if you buy them in advance, they’re only $18. But don’t procrastinate—advance ticket sales close at 11:59 PM on Friday, January 10, 2025. If you miss that deadline, you can still grab tickets at the door for $25. Either way, paying for an unforgettable night is a small price.

Pro tip: snag those advance tickets early to save a few bucks and spend it on snacks or drinks instead!

Adults Only—Leave the Kids at Home

It’s a chance to connect with people who share your love for skating while dancing to some of the best beats around. Plus, there’s something magical about starting a new year on wheels—it feels like freedom.

Here are just a few reasons why this event stands out:

Tips for First-Timers

If this is your first time attending Rollin in the New Year—or even your first time skating in years—don’t sweat it! Here are some tips to help you make the most of your night:

• Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely.
• Bring socks (trust us—you don’t want to forget these if you’re renting skates).
• Arrive early to get your skates on and hit the floor as soon as possible.
• Stay hydrated—skating can be surprisingly intense!
• Most importantly, don’t be afraid to let loose and have fun.

How Far Is It?

For those wondering about travel time: if you’re coming from downtown Sacramento, Sunrise Rollerland is just about a 20-minute drive away. If you’re traveling from other nearby areas like Roseville or Folsom, it’s even closer. The rink’s location makes it an easy destination for locals and visitors alike.

So what are you waiting for? Dust off those skates (or borrow some at the rink), grab your tickets early and prepare for an incredible night at Sunrise Rollerland. The countdown to 2025 starts here!
