On Saturday, May 17th, 2025, THE SKATESIDE will host the 3rd Annual SKATESIDE FEST at Bill Botts Park in Culver City, celebrating ten years of youth empowerment through skateboarding, roller skating, and community engagement.
What began as a grassroots skate program has evolved into one ofLos Angeles’ most anticipated family festivals — drawing over 3,000 attendees, supporting dozens of small businesses, and creating inclusive spaces for families to connect, move, and celebrate. The festival features three activation zones: a Skatepark Zone sponsored by Converse CONS and Zumiez, a Roller Skate Zone, and a Family Fun Zone powered by Bones Love Milk.
More than just a skate event, SKATESIDE FEST has become a case study in how youth-centered programming can create economic opportunity and community equity. From the growing vendor market to subsidized youth lessons, the event showcases a sustainable model of cultural and financial reinvestment in local neighborhoods.
“THE SKATESIDE started with a simple mission: more kids skating,” said Elena Di Gianni, co-founder of THE SKATESIDE. “Ten years later, we’re seeing the ripple effect — confidence, connection, and community pride that extends far beyond the skatepark.”
Festival highlights include free beginner skate lessons, contests, family activities, live music, and food trucks. All activities are open to the public, with wristbands available for premium experiences.
