Friendsgiving Hip Hop & R&B Skate Night Lights Up Newark

Newark is rolling into the Thanksgiving season in style. The Friendsgiving Hip Hop & R&B Skate Night takes over Branch Brook Park Roller Skating Center on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 9:00 PM to 12:00 AM, for a late-night skate set to the hip-hop and R&B hits we all know by heart.

Hosted by BBP Skating, the night is built for friends, family and anyone who loves a good skate session. Expect a rink full of energy, great vibes and a soundtrack of hip-hop and R&B favorites, with the café serving up specials, snacks, pizza and refreshing drinks all session long. Arcade game cards, LED glow products and treats from the candy and stuff shop will be on hand too, so there is plenty to enjoy on and off the rink.

Branch Brook Park Roller Skating Center, at 7th Avenue and Clifton Avenue in Newark, NJ 07104, is one of the Garden State’s favorite places to lace up, and a Friendsgiving skate is the perfect way to kick off the holiday week with your crew. Waivers are mandatory for everyone entering and must be completed on the day of the visit, and all tickets are final sale and valid for the listed date and time only.

Tickets are $10 per person online and $12 at the door. Skate rental is $7 for guests without skates, and a non-skating chaperone fee of $5 applies for ages 18 and up.
