This is what the organizer says:
The “Own It!” skate festival is back! In 2024, we want to continue the skate festival that was launched last year in front of the Schauspielhaus, which was created in cooperation with Titus Düsseldorf and the Eller Skatepark. On September 14th from 10 a.m. you can once again experience a piece of skateboard subculture, lots of music and exciting contests on Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz.
The Skate Festival is a festival for everyone and every age group: whether you’re a complete beginner or a professional skater. The successful concept from last year, consisting of high-level skateboarding, the finest music and lots of fun, is being built upon and this year there is an additional focus on beginners. The city sports association is on site with skateboard trainers including rental equipment. The festival is also supported by Skate-Aid, who bring a portable mini ramp and are on hand to offer advice and support to all skateboard newbies.
With Volcom we have also gained another strong partner: Volcom will be on site with a screen printing machine. Print caps, bags or shirts – it’s all free. Also on site: a skateable obstacle ramp from Volcom and the Volcom team riders.
The festival will be musically accompanied by the live DJ duo Kanuma Sound and the rapper Fillie. True to the motto “Feel the ride and the sound”: Come along, join in, watch and experience what makes skateboarding and music so unique.
