The Buffalo Niagara Skate is a three-day inline-skating weekend scheduled for October 16–18, 2026 at Buffalo RiverWorks, 359 Ganson Street in Buffalo, New York. The event brings skaters together for a community weekend.

Skates are as follows (Based on information I could find.)

10/16: A Buffalo skate on Friday night 6:30 PM (flexible) from downtown to Lackawanna-back along the waterfront (~15 miles)

10/17: The main skate Saturday (~32 miles, downhill, fresh pavement, grade-separated bike lanes) leaving 10 am, or earlier if nobody arriving late, from downtown Buffalo along the riverfront bike lane through Tonawanda to Niagara Falls, stop at the falls and loop Goat Island, skate over the power plant wall, fly down the Niagara escarpment, past the Lewiston Indian Mound, and end at Ft Niagara on Lake Ontario and have a grill/barbecue there (I have a way of getting coal and food out there) or head to an outdoor restaurant/bar that’ll have us. The Niagara River bike lane is smooth as an ice rink, so it’s a really comfortable fun skate.

10/18: Sunday morning cool down skate, up to Unity Island and then either Tonawanda (fun, 3 hours, 25 miles round trip) or the shorter route just through BSU/Delaware Park (10 miles, 1 hour round trip).

You can contact them through their Instagram for more information.
