Some of the world's top extreme sports competitors will be returning to Ventura this year, with the Summer X Games returning to the community.
More than 50,000 people attended the games at the Ventura County Fairgrounds last summer, which included competition in events like skateboarding and BMX bike riding. It's the first time the games were held in Ventura.
Hundreds of thousands of people more watched around the country, with ESPN and ABC broadcasting parts of the competition.
It was considered to be a big boost for tourism in the county. Amtrak added special trains from Los Angeles to the fairgrounds for the event, and many Ventura restaurants and motels reported doing big business. The 2024 event is planned for June 28-30.
