X Games Skateboarders Take Over Downtown Minneapolis on June 21 for Go Skateboarding Day
WHAT:
For the first time ever, X Games and the city of Minneapolis will transform Nicollet Mall into a skate park to celebrate international Go Skateboarding Day on June 21.

The event will also feature local food trucks and entertainment by DJ Mike 2600.
