Vans Celebrates New York’s Skate Community with a Block Party in Brooklyn

During the day, there will be an open skate session at Vans Skate Space 198’s extensive concrete park and a prize-filled skate jam with a cash-for-tricks component and gift card giveaways from skate shops KCDC, Labor, and Tenant. For those newer to the world of skating, KCDC and Sk8Babes will also host free skate lessons. Sign up here for skate lessons.

Accompanying the skating will be a community-focused “Off the Wall” market from Vans family members like LQQK Studio, Quartersnacks, PunkandYo, Homerun, Star Team, EC Melodi, FTI, Nayfandwavey and more. Vans Skateboarding team members like Beatrice Domond, Ben Kadow, Dick Rizzo, Shiloh Catori, Rowan Zorilla, Zion Wright, Curren Caples, and Efron Danzig will be in attendance. Additionally, there will be DJs throughout the day, including LQQK Studios, Ben Kadow, and King Marie, as well as food and beverage vendors.

The good times don’t end when the sun goes down either, as Vans will transform the space into a “skate rave” at night. After a Skate Session with the Vans Skateboarding team, the venue will turn the lights down and the bass up, featuring fresh ghettotech from Detroit’s HiTech and New York’s Jubilee.
