A city-Wide Celebration of Skateboarding

Go Skate Tacoma is a celebration of the creativity and passion that skateboarding encourages, and to promote that every year we will transform Tollefsen Plaza into a “skateboarding wonderland” full of interesting obstacles and ramps for skaters of all ages and skill levels to enjoy. This annual event happens the Saturday closest to June 21st (International Go Skate Day).  

The Go Skate Tacoma event is unique in that not only are there competitions for skaters to showcase their skills and compete for prizes, but also free learn to skate camps for youth and first timers. We designed this as a fun event for EVERYONE, skaters and non-skaters alike congregate to share in the fun of skateboarding!
