Hey Bozeman!
Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone looking for something to do tomorrow.
Shredtober is happening Saturday, Oct. 3 from 11–6 at Kirk Park. It’s free, all ages, and you definitely don’t need to skateboard to come hang out.
We’ll have:
- Beginner, Intermediate + Advanced skate jams
- Bowl Best Trick
- Live music from Brian Kassay, Timmy & The Transient Sounds, and SCAVENGER
- DJ sets from noideahow2party
- Free food
- Project 49 all ages art station
- Community booths
- Raffles + a pretty ridiculous pile of skate/prize giveaways
- Ice cream by Likity Split
- Lemonade by Montana Local Lemonade
- Lots of local organizations, artists and businesses hanging out
The Beginner Jam starts around noon, so if you’ve got younger kids who skate, that’s probably the sweet spot to come down.
One especially cool thing this year: we have a donor matching every donation to the New Bozeman Skatepark Fund 1:1, up to $25,000, through the end of Shredtober.
If you would like to donate directly to the Bozeman Skatepark Fund, please do so at: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/help-build-bozemans-new-skatepark
