Summer in the City presented by Owens Corning - Explore The Ribbon @ Glass City Metropark 7/8/2026 6:00 PM - 7/8/2026 8:00 PM

Wed, 20 May 2026 18:49:02 GMT

Check-in opens at 5:30 pm.
Lace up and roll into one of Toledo’s coolest new experiences. Start the evening with a behind-the-scenes look at the transformation of the Glass City Riverwalk, a game-changing project that’s redefining how we connect with the Maumee River. Then it’s time to hit the pavement (literally) at The Ribbon, a one-of-a-kind skating trail where the vibes are high and the turns are smooth. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or just in it for the laughs, this is your chance to roll, mingle, and experience Toledo in motion. Expect music, great views, and just enough wobble to keep things interesting.

If your plans change and you cannot make it, please let us know ahead of time so we can adjust accordingly.**
