Whether through music, performance, and of course, personality, Queens on Wheels pays tribute to magical mavens of all shapes, genders, and forms who’ve paved the way for decades.
Back by popular demand, Queens on Wheels kicks off a evening of skating and fun at the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, located at 12 S. Michigan Ave. in Chicago. And, there will be plenty of extra room to groove inside the hotel’s newly-outfitted larger skating rink. Queens on Wheels takes over Stagg Court Friday, September 8 – Sunday, September 10.
You're welcome to bring your own roller skates, or rent adult sizes on location, cash only. Plus, there will be Aacompanying concession food, and beverages will be available for purchase throughout each session. Note that when registering for specific sessions, there will be a 60-minute break between sessions to reset the room.
