THE BUNT JAM presented by Vans Off The Wall is coming back to Toronto on August 28 to 29, and it is shaping up to be one of those weekends people in the city will be talking about for a while.
After ten years of The Bunt Podcast, hosts Cephas Benson and Donovan Jones are still finding ways to bring the community together outside of just conversations behind the mic.

This time they are putting together another edition of their event by bringing skateboarding and basketball together in one place for a weekend built around participation, connection, and fun.
The event will take place at 20 Polson Street in Toronto, a familiar spot for people who follow skateboarding culture in the city.
Vans is presenting the event once again, continuing its long connection with skateboarding and the people who live and breathe it.
Friday night opens things up with a 3 on 3 basketball run that is free and open to everyone.
It is the kind of night where people can just show up, get involved, and spend time with pros and local names in a relaxed setting.
Saturday shifts into ticketed programming, with passes available now.
The mix of skating and hoops has always had a natural connection, dating back to early 2000s culture where films like Girl and Yeah Right helped shape how people saw both scenes overlapping.
That connection is still alive today, and THE BUNT JAM keeps that idea going by putting both worlds in the same space.
The Bunt shared the announcement simply:
"THE BUNT JAM presented by @vansskate is BACK!
August 28-29 at 20 Polson Street in Toronto!
Friday night 3 on 3 basketball FREE and Open to the Public.
Tickets to Saturday are available now, link in bio."
