KASSO FEST SKATE & SOUND

KASSO, the global movement that reimagines skate culture through speed, creativity, and community, will make its United States debut with KASSO FEST SKATE & SOUND on March 21–22, 2026, in Long Beach, California. This marks the first time the internationally celebrated concept will expand beyond Japan and bring its renowned full-scale experience directly to American audiences.

Launched in Japan in 2024, KASSO ignited a cultural wave across Asia and beyond, attracting collaborations with NIKE and China's Avenue & Son and inspiring satellite events in San Francisco and Aranya. The original series blends skateboarding with physical challenge, artistry, and community storytelling. It is rooted in a simple idea: skaters versus the course, not skaters versus each other.

KASSO FEST SKATE & SOUND brings that vision to Long Beach, one of the true homes of skate culture, and introduces a next-generation live event format that is built for fans, athletes, creators, and newcomers alike. Over two days, audiences will experience a hybrid world of skate runs, music performances, visual art, and cultural programming designed to feel exciting, inclusive, and social-first.
