On June 19, Hard Times Skate Shop will host our 4th Annual Juneteenth Jam. The
last 3 years of this event has been very successful. Over time, we have been able to
create more awareness about this exciting event!! We have also increased the
public’s interest and participation throughout Hampton Roads. Last year’s Go Skate
Daze event was featured in The New York Times. On June 21, we will kick of the first
day of summer by celebrating Go Skate Day a globally recognized holiday with some
skateboarding activities. Hard Times Go Skate Daze is an event that promotes unity
and brings together the local community. Every year we add something a little
different to the event. In 2021 skateboard legend Clyde Singleton hosted the
inaugural Juneteenth Jam. The 2022 Jam we celebrated our 10-year anniversary
with a carnival themed party. Last year we wanted to focus more on giving back to
our community. We were able to achieve this goal with the help of our sponsors by
donating several complete skateboards to the local youth who lacked the proper
equipment. This year’s event will be just as memorable. Like always we will have a
few surprises up our sleeves.
