Saturday: Free Roller Skating in the World’s Largest Cathedral

The Cathedral of St. John the Divine is building a temporary roller-skating rink in the nave of the cathedral to host a roller-skating party on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Skates will be provided and the whole thing is free of charge.

The party is a way to promote the cathedral’s summer camp registration. The camp offers multiple sessions for children aged 3-13 beginning at the end of June.

The cathedral is the largest in the world (and it’s not even finished yet!). It hosts exhibitions and other events throughout the year — even a show of massive bird sculptures from Beijing.

They don’t plan to finish it either … that’s why locals call it “St. John the Unfinished”
