On August 3, Vancouver will experience a return to the creative heart of skateboarding not seen since the early days of Slam City Jam, when 60 of North Americas top skaters converge on Sunset Beach for JAMCOUVER, and lay their creativity down for a share of the $10,000 prize purse.
This year, DC, LAKAI, OSIRIS, VOX, EMERICA and VANS will skate against each other as teams, in heats where judges will award those who make the most creative use of the unique street course.
Partnering with the Celebration of Light means more than 25,000 spectators will be in attendance throughout the full day of programming (10am-7pm).
In addition to the skate contest are bands such as The Goat, a vendor fair, a chance to greet the pros and special KnowShow (pre-ticketed/19+) licensed lounge all in support of Jamcouver Cultural Societys mission to establish a sustainable indoor skateboarding facility in Vancouver.
Capping off one truly memorable day, crowds will then be treated to the worlds largest offshore fireworks display later that night, followed by the official JAMCOUVER after party (location TBA).
Admission is free and open to all ages.
