The Archives Block Party 2026 Itinerary

It has now been over a year since the second "RDS granite bench" has been legally installed for skateboarding at Archives and we are still in awe of it. It would be a sin to take it for granted. It's so special! Archives is one of Canada's oldest skate spots and to have gone from getting chased out of it in the 80s for skating there to having infrastructure installed there specifically for the purpose of skating is amazing. We're thrilled to be celebrating it again this year with an even bigger party than what we put together in 2025! We're tossing out $6k in cash for tricks throughout the day plus there'll be a pop-up vintage clothing market and we're setting up a surprise mystery obstacle for skaters in the grand finale - "section D". We've got a few more surprises up our sleeves but you'll have to wait and see them for yourselves at the event! Check out the full weekend's itinerary for the 2026 "Archives Block Party" and let us know if you have any questions. Help us make it the biggest event in Ottawa skateboarding history!
