Learn skate safety and basics in this workshop hosted by We Skate! You’ll gain some beginner tips and tricks from seasoned skaters. No prior experience necessary. Gear will be available so no need to have your own board or skates to participate!

For your safety, we strongly encourage but will not require FestGoers to follow the UMD Athletics bag policy for events at The Clarice. All bags will be searched by security personnel upon festival entry, and FestGoers who travel light will be able to enter the festival more quickly and easily. Only empty water bottles will be permitted; there will be free water stations and opportunities to purchase beverages inside the festival.
