The long awaited official opening of Ross-on-Wye Skate Park has finally arrived. The event which is taking place on Saturday 6th September 2008, will be a celebration for young people and those who have supported them over the past few years to raise the money for such a high specification park. There will be competitions for skateboarding, BMX and bladers, alongside an electric mix of rock, hip-hop and acoustic music in a marquee set just behind the park.

The first band will be on stage at 12pm with the official opening at 12:30pm that will feature a display by professional skaters 'Tribe', before the start of competitions. The final band will finish at 7:30pm with the competitions, prize giving's and bands spread throughout the afternoon and evening.
