X Games California 2024

X Games today announced that the Summer 2024 games will officially return to Ventura for a three-day event June 28-30.

“Southern California is the birthplace of action sports and a culture that is now global,” long-time host and recently appointed X Games Chief of Sports Culture Selema Masekela said. “Last year was legendary, so we are excited to return to Ventura and turn things up a notch.”

Last year’s X Games California, which culminated in Ventura, was a huge success – selling out of tickets and merchandise in record time. X Games California 2023 drew a crowd of more than 50,000 people to Ventura alone. Officials from both X Games and Ventura Visitors and Convention Bureau are committed to making X Games Ventura 2024 bigger and better than ever, with more sports, more music and more space for spectators.

In partnership with X Games, the leading action sports content provider and event producer, that the summer games are returning to Ventura’s coastline this June. X Games Ventura 2024 will once again dare the world’s leading extreme athletes to fly to new heights and break records, all backed by Ventura’s beaches.

“To say we’re stoked is an understatement,” said Marlyss Auster, President and CEO of Visit Ventura. “We’re still beaming with hometown pride with what took place in our Ventura last year. We’re excited to make this summer even better, all led by the newly appointed Salema Masekela, Director of Culture. We’re ready to see athletes break more records and do it all by the beach with our coastline as the perfect backdrop. We’re stoked — let’s do this!”

X Games California 2023 saw over $58 MILLION in media value, in addition to record-breaking attendance numbers with a sold-out crowd, an unprecedented partnership that resulted in two Pacific Surfliner train cars wrapped in X Games creative for the first time, and the competition’s first Chumash blessing in front of athletes and media among other milestones.

Visit Ventura is excited to work with the X Games team to make X Games Ventura 2024 even better this year, building on accomplishments from 2023.

“Ventura is thrilled to welcome back the X Games Ventura for its second year, highlighting our city’s successful tradition of supporting major events,” said Ventura Mayor Joe Schroeder. “With the prestigious international competition slated for June 2024, Ventura, renowned for its surf and skate culture, is committed to providing an unparalleled experience for athletes, fans, and visitors alike during this exhilarating event. Our community eagerly anticipates showcasing our vibrant culture, scenic beauty, and community charm to the world.”
