The annual skate jam celebrating the life of Aaron Robinson returns for the eighth year in a row on Saturday, Sept. 21 from 2-5 p.m. at Dave Olseth Memorial Skatepark in Whitefish.

The event is free to attend but serves as a fundraiser for the Plant a Seed Project, which was started shortly after the 24-year-old Robinson, a professional snowboarder, died in a snowboarding accident in Chile in 2011. The Plant a Seed project provides Whitefish Mountain Resort season passes, snowboarding equipment and lessons to young people in need.

This year’s A-Rob Memorial Skate Jam features food from Rebel Roots Kitchen, pizza from MacKenzie River and live music courtesy of Sapphire Shakedown and New Wave Time Trippers.
