Wikipedia Tells us the following:
“Go Skateboarding Day (GSD) is an official annual holiday conceived by the
International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to promote
skateboarding. The holiday was started in California by Don Brown and is held on June 21 due to the fact that the day is the longest day of summer.
The holiday was conceived in 2004 by the
International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to help make
skateboarding more accessible to the world through various events held in major cities around the world. In 2006, more than 350 events took place in 32 countries around the world, and, the following year, the IASC received Special Congressional Recognition from US Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez for its work in promoting the sport of skateboarding and encouraging young people to get outside and enjoy the sport.

This holiday is celebrated by millions of skaters around the world.”
Here in Ocean City, Willie Fannon and the team at the Skate Park have a fun evening planned for Skateboarders of any age and their supporters.
Come out and enjoy the fun.
