The Kingston Youth Services FReeZA Platform 81 Events Committee presents their first big event of the year with Skate of Mind 2023.

It will be a fun, drug, alcohol, and smoke-free day out full of entertainment and a great chance for young people to join in, watch competitions or just have a good time with friends.

Whether a practiced pro or a novice just starting out, Skate of Mind has something to offer youths interested in skateboarding. Skateboarding has been shown to be helpful in developing a sense of achievement in young people and feeling like they are a part of a community and can express themselves when at a skatepark and surrounded by others with a similar outlook.

Check out the live music from local youth acts as well as some amazing young people battling it out in the competitions. Bring a friend and go for one of the prizes up for grabs or have lunch or a snack at one of the food trucks that will be on hand.

Please note, all competitors must be 12-25 years of age with a connection to the City of Kingston (live, work, study).
