Adams county Pride
Adams County Pride was our best year yet! We partnered with Raw Groove who curated the live performance, including live music, fabulous dancing, and roller-breaking! The event felt like a small window into what our future space will look and feel like. The art featured our trans & queer ancestor portrait series, hung ceiling elements, and a stage design of pink blobs in the center of the rink.

Thank you to our donors!
With so much support from YOU our beloved community, we’ve raised OVER our $25,000 goal (223 donors raised $26,569)! This is going to help us cover some of the costs for the theater/sound and art installation in our new space. We cannot thank you enough 💖
We are excited to announce that Bonfils-Stanton Foundation and Gates Family Foundation have both awarded capital funding towards this project! Together with your support, we have secured $116,500 towards the capital campaign. We are so grateful to each and every one of you for your kind words, shares, and donations towards this dream.

Sun Valley Night Market
Rainbow Dome had a great time at the 2025 Sun Valley Viaduct Night Market. We had a pop-up roller rink for the community that welcomed some rad roller groovers! We also shared the inaugural art theme for the new building, Sanctuary, and asked folks to respond through an interactive art activity. The night market is always a delight and we look forward to returning in 2026!

Our Future Home
Rainbow Dome hosted its first annual Winter Solstice Market in December 2023. The event also unveiled Rainbow Dome’s new forever home. Over the weekend, Rainbow Dome raised $2,199 in donations towards our capital campaign to renovate our future home. With over 40 local vendors in attendance, we estimated that vendors collectively made $31,400 in sales over the weekend! That's incredible to be supporting small businesses and our local economy.
Meow Wolf Vortex
Rainbow Dome designed art for Vortex 2023, Meow Wolf's music festival, hosted at The Junkyard in Denver. Festival attendees entered the festival under a garden landscape, featuring plush, colorful sculptures of flowers, hands, and insects.

Centennial Center Park
Thank you to all of you who joined our first pop-up event at Centennial Center Park in October. Shout out to The City of Centennial and the Spark Centennial Experience Accelerator program for their support. Y'all showed up in style and decorated the skating rink with such great moves. We were overjoyed with the turnout and the amount of smiling faces. We are excited to be part of the larger skating community in Denver, and can't wait to meet more of you at future events.
Watch a clip of the event on 9News.
