About Harold Hunter Weekend

The 16th annual Harold Hunter Weekend is underway. 

Billed as "one of NYC’s largest and most highly anticipated skateboarding events," the activities — including in Tompkins Square Park — celebrate the legacy of Hunter, a charismatic local skateboarder who was born and raised at Campos Plaza on 13th Street. He died in 2006 at age 31. 

The weekend is hosted by the Harold Hunter Foundation, a nonprofit that provides support, opportunity and advocacy for skateboarders.
