Warmups @ 6PM | Competition @ 7PM

Huron Street, Downtown Houghton

Jibba Jabba is BACK on Huron Street — right next to the new Visit Keweenaw HQ — and ready to ignite downtown Houghton with one of the Midwest’s most electric professional snowboard events. Riders from across the region will hit a custom-built urban course packed with features, speed, and creativity — all dropping straight toward the Houghton Waterfront and across Lakeshore Drive.

Expect high-energy action, massive talent, and a crowd-lined street buzzing with winter adrenaline. Free to watch, Jibba Jabba is perfect for families, thrill-seekers, and anyone looking for a lively winter festival experience in the Keweenaw!

Head Over Heels for Jibba

Red Bull's BEST STOMP is BACK!

Red Bull returns with their iconic party car with pumping speakers, and plenty of energy for riders and fans. Their fan-favorite Best Stomp trick category is back — rewarding the night’s most flawless, hardest-hitting landing. When you hear the crowd explode, you’ll know someone stomped gold.

Jibba Jabba Citywide Weekend: Houghton’s Ultimate Winter Block Party

Jibba Jabba isn’t just hitting Huron Street this year — it’s spilling into all of downtown. Shops, cafés, and hangouts are rolling out specials, pop-ups, late nights, and all kinds of Jibba-themed mischief that turn Houghton into a full winter block party.

Then comes the main event: the roar of the crowd, boards flying, and Huron Street transformed into the peninsula’s loudest snow-packed runway. Stake out your spot from the hill to the pier, snap a selfie at the Jibba Jabba frame, snag some Red Bull swag, and refuel with on-site eats!
