We are back for round 3 of the STREETMEDIA SOCIAL!
After 2 years of fuck-ups and corrections, we are proud to say that this year will be the biggest yet.
If you have been with us for the last 2 years to see all of that, thank you. Thank you for helping us shape this event into something special for everyone.
Now we are back, bigger and badder than ever before, in one of the most iconic cities in the world for Parkour, independent fashion and art: BRISTOL.
WHAT IS THE STREETMEDIA SOCIAL?
The STREETMEDIA SOCIAL is our annual event, created firstly as a reason to gather the Parkour community in our home city of Sheffield, and to showcase the wide range of talent from the brands and artists and DJ's we are close with.
After our first two events, we saw the potential to grow the event further, expand out into different corners of the UK, and to recruit new creative talent.
The STREETMEDIA SOCIAL is more than a simple Parkour gathering. It is a way for our community to network, share ideas, showcase their creations, and have a weekend to remember. As a grassroots event, our aim is to give the creative talent we see every day from our community a space to display their works, and to promote up-and-coming talent.
The event consists of a street Parkour jam in an iconic UK city, pop-up market hosting select brands and artists, afterparty featuring our chosen music artists and DJ's, prize giveaways, and this year we will be running an exclusive raffle with clothing and accessories from brands such as STREETMEDIA and Storror to be won.
