From September 11–13, the Jacques-Cartier Pier in Montréal’s Old Port will be buzzing with skateboarding, Moto X, BMX, calisthenics, music, and everything that makes JACKALOPE more than just an action sports festival.
But between two runs and a few massive tricks, there’s another part of the festival you’ll definitely want to check out: our pop-up shops.
This year, we’re bringing together an eclectic mix of brands, artists, organizations, and local businesses representing Montreal’s creative energy and action sports community.
Here are the pop-ups you won’t want to miss 👇
