VIVA Prahran 2017
VIVA Prahran 2017 was held on Saturday April 8th in conjunction with National Youth week at Prahran Skate Park. The annual event hosted the Street Skate boarding and Vert competitions, basketball tournaments, hip-hop dance workshops and competitions, DJs, fire twirlers and a wide range of food and beverage options.
The weather was perfect for the Under 16 and Open Street Skate Competitions which attracted a large number of competitors and spectators alike. The rain stayed away but the crowd stayed on to see the Vert competition which was also a success with the spectators seeing sensational skating in all disciplines. The weather held off for the final presentations before the down pour began.
