The Dew Tour’s Battle of the Shops will also return this year, featuring five midwest-based skate shops competing for shop glory. Dew Tour Partners will be located throughout the Dew Tour Experience (DTE), a festival-style area that will be spread throughout 2nd Avenue between Center Street and School Street in Des Moines. Throughout the Dew Tour Experience, fans can enjoy partner activations, athlete meet and greets, giveaways, local food trucks and a beer garden featuring local breweries including Big Grove, Confluence, Exile and Court Ave. 


This year, Dew Tour title sponsor MTN DEW® will be front and center, showcasing their exciting summer campaign, “Skateboarding is Unstoppable,” where fans will have a chance to interact and share what skateboarding means to them. Additionally, MTN DEW will be hosting a satellite shop featuring limited edition Dew Tour and MTN DEW merchandise, complete with a customization station. Fans will have an opportunity to play “spin to win” for a chance to win prizes including skate decks, waterproof speakers and more. Product sampling will also be taking place, with a wide variety of Dew and Dew Zero Sugar flavors. Lastly, MTN DEW will be bringing out content creators and the entire pro skate team to sign autographs, meet fans and unlock the Dew Tour course for the fifth and final Unlock the Spot tour stop this summer. 


Toyota returns to summer as Dew Tour’s Official Mobility Partner, which includes entitlement of Dew Tour’s adaptive skateboard competitions, including men’s Park and men’s and women’s Street events. On-course, Toyota will have a customized RAV4 Hybrid as a rideable feature as part of the Park course.  At the Dew Tour Experience, fans can stop by Toyota’s booth where they can customize Corolla Cross skate socks, GR86 sunglasses cases and Tacoma shoelaces as well as check out the newest vehicles up close with current Toyota owners receiving a special gift.

Team Toyota skateboarders Jordyn Barratt and Evan Strong (featured in a two-part content series on DewTour.com) will not only be competing at Dew Tour, but also participating in autograph sessions at the Toyota booth throughout the event. MTN DEW® and Team Toyota athlete Red Gerard will be around both spaces as well. Leading up to and during the event, fans can enter-to-win a new Toyota GR86 car and limited edition Dew Tour Des Moines prize pack.


The US Air Force joins Dew Tour as a primary partner and will feature a special Air Force Performance Lab. The Lab is an interactive experience full of challenges and self-discovery, all wrapped in innovative technology. Each part of the experience focuses on different skills and interests that correlate to various Air Force careers that participants will learn more about while competing against each other as well as real Airpersons. Additionally, Dew Tour will host an official US Air Force Swear-In for Delayed Entry Program members who will reaffirm their commitment to the US Air Force. The oath of enlistment will be led by 343 Recruiting Squadron Director of Operations Major Sarah Answine on Friday, July 29 at 3:50 pm on the Street Course.


Tech Deck mini fingerboards will be on-hand at Dew Tour to offer giveaways for fans and will feature a mini Dew Tour street course replica. Additionally, a Tech Deck branded skate feature will be included on the Street Course. 


For its second year, Dew Tour’s sustainability partner MidAmerican Energy will work on on-site initiatives that will minimize environmental impacts: alternative energy sources, carbon footprint analysis, landfill diversion and responsible water consumption. 
Great Clips, a new partner this year, will have stylists providing free haircuts to Dew Tour attendees Friday, July 29 and Saturday, July 30. Donations are encouraged onsite to Unravel Pediatric Center in Des Moines, a local nonprofit working to bridge the gap in pediatric cancer research.
