About Go Skate Day 2023: The public join together on Go Skate Day on June 24th, 2023 from 4-9 p.m. at 201 East Beaver Street. There were contests, giveaways, cash prizes and a full transformation of an underutilized brownfield (parking lot) into an active public space in the Cathedral District.
Why skateboarding?
The Global SLS Championship was hosted in Jax two years in a row. Host cities are typically not repeated, but since our local skate scene is so powerful, organizers insisted. Block Supply has implemented a series of skate events to gather, educate, inspire and continue the cultural momentum of the community.
This was the first of a series of street-level activations that took place in the Business Improvement District (BID) and targeted skaters, artists, under-served youth and those interested in action sports. Additionally, these gatherings bring awareness to the Artist Walk and Skate Park coming to our BID across from some of the most popular placemaking happening in Jacksonville, the Riverside Arts Market.
