Red Bull PlayStreets is a unique spectacle that brings the world's best freestylers and newschool skiers from the fun parks directly to the town center of Bad Gastein, making their top performances accessible to the general public.
The high-caliber starting field is comparable to the line-up of the legendary X-Games. Spectacular slides on rooftops, road gap jumps, and stylish jumps amidst the spectators provide a true feast for the eyes for everyone - a breathtaking freestyle show at the highest level, in the heart of the town center of Bad Gastein.
Kickers, corners, road gaps, and rooftops are just some of the obstacles that the talented freeskier selection has to tackle on what is arguably the most extraordinary playground street in Europe. A tough qualification and the event format that creates immense excitement demand an extra portion of freestyle skills from the athletes. An absolute highlight in the Gastein event calendar!

Also 2027 the PlayStreets will not take place, confirms the chairman of the tourism association Olaf Krohne upon request. Is the event thus history? "Not definitively, there are still talks. A return is not excluded," he says.
