Saturday, August 22, 2026. 12–5pm. Callingwood Skatepark, Edmonton.
Otterly Rad’s third annual Make It Rad skate jam. Biggest one yet, this year run in partnership with the Edmonton Skateboarding Association (ESA).
Year one was 2024 at Canora Courts — 64 people. Year two moved to Spruce Grove Skatepark and grew to 80+ skaters and 150 spectators. This year we’re at Callingwood.
Silent auction proceeds go to ESA, working to bring a public indoor skate facility back to Edmonton — something the city hasn’t had since House of Wheels closed.
Free. All ages, all skill levels. Come skate, come watch, come support.
