Toronto's turning an old airport hangar into the city's coolest skatepark — and you're invited to roll through for FREE. Hangar Jam is hitting YZD (the former Downsview Airport) from July 19 to 20, transforming the colossal airplane hangar into a high-energy playground for skateboarding, street art, music, and urban dance culture. There'll be youth skate workshops from Later Skate Gang, a Queer Skate Toronto contest, and an 18+ best trick showdown for those ready to battle it out. Hangar Jam is part of Northcrest's "Meanwhile Use" strategy, which uses creative, community-powered programming to reimagine underused industrial spaces like Downsview. So, whether you skate, dance, paint, or just want to experience something fresh, Hangar Jam is one of the most unique cultural events happening in Toronto this summer.
