From September 12 to 14, 2025, JACKALOPE returns to its hometown at the Old Port of Montréal for three action-packed days of vert skateboarding, mini ramp madness, youth competitions, and the unbeatable festival atmosphere it’s known for, and of course, it’s free for the public!

Whether you’re a pro skater, a hyper-energised grom, or just someone who loves to watch Bob Burnquist flying over the Old Port backdrop, this is your event.

Vert Competitions for All: Pros, and Groms

The highlight of the weekend: the Vert Skateboarding Competitions for Men, Women, and Groms (under 15).
Expect insane talents throwing down massive airs, technical lip tricks, and fearless runs.

Young skaters will also have their moment to shine in the Mini Ramp with the Grom Best Trick & in the Vert too. The adorable Pup Cup (-7 years old) will take place on the mini ramp: guaranteed to melt hearts and blow minds.
