The most ambitious Fête de Noué yet will get under way shortly, supported by the States and businesses, including the Jersey Evening Post as media partner.
The decision to include a covered facility for skateboarders for the first time should prove popular with young people who often complain that the States do not provide them with anything to do.
For one week from 1 December, Wheel Jam 06 will be held on the grass above the waterfront car park, providing an enclosed, purpose-built environment for young skaters to rub shoulders with professionals who are coming to the Island for the event.
The festival will include open sessions, professional demonstrations and contests and the UK Blueprint pro team will judge a day of open competitions on Sunday 3 December.
