17th Annual Free Fall Fest brings a free action-sports weekend to Quakertown

Quakertown is getting a full-on action-sports weekend with the 17th Annual Free Fall Fest, a free event at Free Fall Action Sports that puts skateboarding, BMX, scooters, basketball, and mini-comp energy into one packed September weekend.

For skaters, that means a rare kind of local event: low-barrier, community-driven, and built around participation. No hype machine, no complicated setup—just a weekend where riders, skaters, and spectators can show up and get into the mix.

What’s listed for the weekend

The event is scheduled for September 26–27, 2026, with public hours listed on both days:

• September 26: 11:00 AM–5:00 PM EDT
• September 27: 11:00 AM–2:00 PM EDT

The organizer lists the following categories:

• Action sports
• BMX
• Scooter
• Skateboard
• Basketball
• Mini-comp

That mix makes the Fest feel more like a community session with competition built in than a single-discipline contest. It should also make for a lively spectator scene, with plenty going on even if you’re only there to watch.

Why this one matters

Free events like this are often the easiest way for new riders and families to get connected to a scene. They’re also the kind of weekend where local crews can hang out, try something new, and see different riding styles without needing a huge travel budget.

Free, multi-sport weekends have a way of pulling different parts of the skate and action-sports community into the same place.

If you’re planning to attend, this is the sort of event where a camera, spare water, and a little patience will go a long way. Expect a busy atmosphere and enough variety to keep the day moving.

What to watch for

• Skateboarding and BMX action with a community-event feel
• Scooter and mini-comp categories alongside the main activities
• A family-friendly setup that should appeal to riders and spectators alike
• Two separate public time blocks, which makes it easier to drop in for part of the weekend

We’ll keep this one in the “worth a look” category. It’s free, it’s local, and it’s the kind of event that can turn a casual visit into a full day of skating energy.
