Throwback Vibes: How To Plan The Ultimate ‘80s Roller Skating Party

August 19, 2025 by kat holt Leave a Comment

Crank up the synth-pop and bust out the leg warmers! It’s time to throw the raddest bash of the year! If you’re looking for a fun, high-energy theme that gets everyone moving and grooving, an 80s roller skating party at Rainbow Rink in North Tonawanda is the perfect way to rewind and roll. 

Whether it’s a birthday, team celebration, or just a reason to party, we’ve got your guide to planning the ultimate throwback night!

1. Dress The (Retro) Part

No 80s roller skating party is complete without some totally tubular outfits. Think bright neon colors, scrunchies, oversized sweatshirts, and yes, plenty of glitter. Encourage your guests to show off their best throwback looks. Bonus points for leg warmers, denim jackets, and fingerless gloves!

2. Curate A Classic ’80s Playlist

Set the mood with a playlist packed with 80s hits that everyone knows and loves. From Madonna and Prince to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper, it’s all about good vibes and high energy. Want to keep it extra fun? Create a group playlist in advance so your guests can request their faves!

3. Add Some Totally Awesome Decorations

Decor is key to creating those retro skating party vibes. Think neon streamers, cassette tape centerpieces, checkered tablecloths, and disco balls. A blacklight section or glow-in-the-dark corner takes things up a notch for nighttime sessions.

4. Plan Some Games & Contests

Keep the party rolling with themed games like limbo, best retro outfit contest, and dance-offs. Add in some skating challenges like backward races or synchronized group routines for extra laughs and memories.
