The X Games is returning to Ventura in June.
The three-day competition featuring skateboarding, BMX and Moto X will take place June 28-30 at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, according to an X Games announcement Friday.
“Last year was legendary, so we are excited to return to Ventura and turn things up a notch,” said Selema Masekela, recently appointed X Games chief of sports culture in a news release.
The 2023 games took place at the fairgrounds and drew over 50,000 people.
“To say we’re stoked is an understatement,” said Marlyss Auster, president and CEO of Visit Ventura in a statement. “We’re still beaming with hometown pride with what took place in our Ventura last year.”
One difference will be the games’ official name, Auster said. Last year’s was called X Games California 2023.
“We’re super thrilled that it’s X Games Ventura 2024,” she said.
Friday’s announcement comes as the competition kicked off at the winter X Games Aspen in Buttermilk, Colorado. The X Games typically hosts a winter and summer event.
