Collegedale Parks and Recreation plans to host its Galentine’s Disco on Friday, Feb. 7. This event, designed for women 14 and older, will offer free admission. It is advertised as an evening filled with laughter, skating and community bonding.
“This is for all women who want to celebrate their lady friends in a safe environment,” Christina Clark, the Collegedale Parks and Recreation supervisor stated in a press release.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their disco outfits and roller skates to enjoy a pop-up skating rink at Founders Hall in the Collegedale Commons at 4750 Swinyar Drive. In addition to skating, the event lineup includes karaoke, crafting, games and food.
“We will feature only female-owned businesses to provide services such as Nooga Hat Bar, Melissa’s Meals on Wheels, GiGi’s Sweet Treats and Dazey Skate Co,” Clark stated.
This event will run from 6 to 9 p.m. Admission is free for females ages 14 and up.
“I wish I knew about more events like this happening in the Collegedale community,” Hannah Stephens, junior nursing major said. “I think it’s great to see something so unique and fun being organized.”
Alicia Anderson, senior nursing major, shared a similar sentiment.
“I’m definitely going to attend,” Anderson said. “I’ve always wished for more female-oriented spaces like this. It’s such a wonderful opportunity to connect with others in a supportive and fun environment.”
