Simple Session comes to Tartu this weekend

 

Simple Session is gearing up to celebrate its 24th birthday with a thrilling event set to take place in Tartu this weekend (August 24–25). The adrenalin-filled festival will be hosted at the historic Tartu Comb Factory, a venue with a unique industrial flow that adds an extra layer of excitement to the event.

The festival will feature a dazzling display of skill and creativity from around one hundred of the world’s top BMX riders and skateboarders. These athletes will compete on a newly designed 700m² contest course crafted by the acclaimed designer Nate Wessel. Attendees can look forward to incredible performances that showcase the very best of BMX and skateboarding.

Simple Session has always been synonymous with the spirit of creativity and innovation in extreme sports. By bringing the event to Tartu’s vibrant venue, the festival aims to enhance the experience for both athletes and spectators, reinforcing its connection to the roots of these dynamic sports.

In addition to the high-octane competition, Simple Session 24 will host an extensive four-day party and concert programme from August 22–25 that includes live concerts, parties, film screenings, workshops, exhibitions, and pop-up events, culminating in authentic street jams.

You can get more information about the event on the Simple Session official website.
