Grab your skates and your friends and head to Cascade Skating Rink!

Willow Smith is headed to the famous Atlanta skating rink for the Walmart Free Skate event tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 16. What Walmart has deemed “the ultimate back-to-school event of the year” will not only include a performance from Willow but also have a bunch of goodies for you too! You’ll be able to roller skate for free, get $50 Walmart gift cards, enjoy free food, merch and so much more. Of course, to top off an amazing event, Willow will perform live and debut two songs from her new album, COPINGMECHANISM.

We’ve seen Willow grow up right before our eyes. The daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith has been in the spotlight since a young age. She made her acting debut in 2007 at the tender age of seven years old, alongside her father in the movie “I Am Legend.” Willow saw success in the music industry later, with the release of her song “Whip My Hair” in 2010, which saw tons of viral success. The song didn’t just see success online though—it reached its #11 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 chart too. Willow has since released several projects, including “R I S E,” “The Anxiety,” “Lately I Feel Everything” and, of course, her latest album, COPINGMECHANISM. You can also see Willow alongside her mother and grandmother in the Facebook series “Red Table Talk,” where she has become affectionately known for her one-liners and facial expressions.

There is a limited capacity for the event, so I wouldn’t wait on reserving my spot if I were you! The event goes down tomorrow, Sept. 16 at Cascade on M.L.K. Jr. Dr. from 6-9 p.m. While the event is free, you do need to RSVP to enjoy the fun – you can do that at walmartfreeskate.com. Don’t worry though, if you’re not able to see Willow perform in person, you can watch the livestream performance at walmartshoplive.com.
