Go Skate Day and Father’s Day fall on the same day this year, and the local women’s skateboarding collective Ur Mom Skates (Instagram) says they’re treating that as an invitation.
The group is co-hosting “Go Skate, Dad” with Plus Skate Shop (Website) and Redlight Redlight (Website) this Sunday, June 21, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the alley behind Redlight Redlight on Corrine Drive. The event is free and open to all ages and experience levels.
- For skaters, there will be a ramp from Goat Ramp and a street course.
- For kids, there’s a bounce house, a paint-your-own-skateboard station, and a cool-down tent.
- Redlight has brewed a special Plus Skate Shop collab lager for the occasion, and Chef Emily has put together a food menu.
- Mae Tao & Son’s Kitchen, Electric Camel, and King of Pops will be on site with food, coffee, and popsicles.
