SQSA Events
Every year, SQSA Parade brings the whole club together around two anchor events: the IllumiSkate Holiday Exhibition, our free winter showcase for skaters and their families, and the Spring Ice Show, our biggest performance of the year, where every skater — from first-time beginners to our most advanced athletes — takes the ice to celebrate a season of hard work and progress. Together, these events capture what SQSA Parade is all about: a community that comes together to cheer on every skater’s story on the ice.
Spring Ice Show
SQSA’s biggest event of the year features themed performances, showcase programs, group numbers, and unforgettable moments for skaters of all levels.
IllumiSkate
Our annual winter exhibition celebrates the holiday season with festive performances, community spirit, and a fun evening on the ice for family and friends.
Skate Camp
A week-long, full-day camp for skaters ages 4–18 of all levels, blending on-ice skills like jumps and spins with off-ice conditioning, dance, and guest coaches.
Bold Ice
A two-day competition at Parade Ice Garden for skaters of all levels, featuring jumps, spins, and interpretive numbers across dozens of events on two rinks.
