Harold Hunter Day, June 7: What’s Happening and How You Can Join the Celebration

This special day honors Harold Hunter, a beloved figure in the skate community whose influence is still felt nearly 30 years after he first made waves.

The event is being put together by Gallery 23 NY and the Harold Hunter Foundation, with some amazing support from Jonathan Mannion, the photographer who captured many unforgettable moments of Harold’s life back in the late ’90s. Jonathan’s photos show a side of Harold that goes beyond skate tricks - his personality, his kindness, and the way he connected with people around him.

From June 5 through June 9, you can visit the exhibit at 38 Little West 12th Street in New York City. It’s a chance to step into the world of NYC skateboarding’s golden days, seen through Jonathan’s lens and celebrating Harold’s legacy.

On the 7th specifically, there’s a full lineup of activities planned for fans and friends alike. Expect to see skate sessions, meetups, and maybe even some surprise guests from the skate scene who want to share stories and memories. It’s not just about watching - it’s about being part of a community that continues to appreciate Harold’s down-to-earth nature and the role he played in shaping skate culture in NYC.

If you’re nearby or planning to be in the city, swing by and take it all in. Whether you’re a longtime skate fan or new to the scene, Harold Hunter Day is a great way to connect with the city’s rich skate history and feel that sense of togetherness that Harold was known for.

Mark your calendar, bring your friends, and get ready for a few days full of good vibes, great memories, and plenty of skateboarding. Harold Hunter may have started his story decades ago, but his influence is very much alive today.
