JACKALOPE : THE ACTION SPORTS PARTY IS BACK IN MISSISSAUGA

May 9, 2025 / By cecilia

And the best part? It’s completely FREE TO THE PUBLIC, thanks to Visit Mississauga.

After last year’s massive turnout, we’re bringing back all your favorite events with a fresh twist that’ll keep you locked into the action all weekend long.

We’re taking over Celebration Square and Square One once again for three days of non-stop adrenaline, community energy, and boundary-pushing talent. Whether you’ve been riding with us since the beginning or are brand new to the JACKALOPE experience, this one’s for you.

Picture this: You’re in front of our custom-built skatepark and massive vert ramp, the Mississauga clock tower rising behind it. BASE jumpers launch from a towering crane above, climbers tackle dynamic bouldering routes, Moto X riders blast skyward, and breakers hit the floor to the beat. All at once.

This isn’t just a festival. It’s a full-on celebration of action sports, creativity, and connection, and everyone is welcome.

SKATEBOARDING: STREET & VERT

The pros are coming in hot. Our street and vert contests return with divisions for Women, Men, Groms, and Kids, plus Shredder Passes for all levels.

Look out for standout skaters like Rony Gomes, Leonardo Vinicius, Alisa Fessl, Mazel Paris, and Deyvid Anderson, and keep an eye on our Golden Ticket winners: Ema Kawakami, Shuka Kawai, Jair Urbano, and Secret Lynn, who are all gunning for the podium.

BOULDERING CONTEST

Once again, we’re building a giant outdoor climbing wall and inviting Canada’s best boulderers to throw down. Whether you’re competing or spectating, this is one of the most electrifying parts of JACKALOPE, and we owe a huge thanks to our Climb Partner, @ArcteryxOntario.

BREAKING COMPETITION – BATTLE FOR THE NORTH

Battle are back! Watch b-boys and b-girls bring heat, style, and raw energy to the floor in high-stakes showdowns. Creativity, control, and footwork madness guaranteed.

BASE JUMPING FROM A CRANE

Matt Laj and his fearless crew are once again defying gravity, but always in control. Launching themselves from a towering crane right in the heart of Mississauga. Don’t blink.

MOTO X MADNESS

The Moto X Crew is revving back into town with a stacked show of backflips, whips, and freestyle insanity. Expect airtime. Lots of it.
