Help Revive Austin's Underground Roller Disco

Together, We’ll Bring the Magic Back — The Underground Roller Disco Returns to the Long Center

Goal:
$12,000

Video above was from when KVUE came to interview us about the roller disco.

For years, the Underground Roller Disco was more than just an event—it was a movement. A place where the Austin community came together to dance, skate, connect, and celebrate life. From funky beats to free expression, we created something beautiful. And now, we have the chance to bring it back—bigger, brighter, and rolling into the heart of downtown at the iconic Long Center Terrace.

This isn’t just a party. It’s a vibrant, all-ages, all-wheels-welcome celebration of music, movement, and community. Whether you roll on skates, blades, bikes, boards, or one-wheels—you belong here.

Our goal is to make the Underground Roller Disco a biannual tradition—hosting it twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall—when the weather is perfect for skating under the Austin skyline.

What You’ll Experience:

Imagine the sun setting behind the Austin skyline as the terrace fills with classic jams from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s. Skaters glide, dancers groove, and friends and family relax on the grass as the music flows across the open air and the city lights begin to glow. Food vendors, community artists, and live DJs come together to create a one-of-a-kind vibe—while also supporting local charities and causes that matter.

Whether you're rolling solo or with your crew, this is your space to move, connect, and let go. It’s not just about skating—it’s about community, joy, and reclaiming a feeling that’s been missing for too long.

Where Your Donation Goes

We’re aiming to raise $12,000 to cover every essential part of this experience, so it can remain completely free for the public:

- Venue Rental (Long Center Terrace):
- Staff and Security
- Stage, Sound & Lighting:
- DJ Fees (3 DJs
- Skate Rentals + Staff
- Marketing & Promotion:
- Miscellaneous Supplies (decor, signage, cleanup, etc):

This event will not be funded by ticket sales or big sponsors. It will be powered by you—the people who want to see it come back to life.

Why We Need Your Help Now:
We’re ready to roll—but we can’t do it without you.

This is your chance to help bring back one of Austin’s most unique and joyful community events. By donating, you’re not buying a ticket—you’re building the experience itself. You’re helping create a safe, open, and vibrant celebration that belongs to everyone.

If you’ve ever danced with us before, skated under the stars, or just believe in what we’re doing—now’s the time to show up. Let’s bring the magic back, together.

This isn’t just my event—it’s ours. Whether it’s $5 or $500, every bit helps. Donate what you can, share with your friends, and help us bring the Underground Roller Disco back to life. Let’s make this magical night happen—for all of us.
