WHERE TO NEXT?By Chrissy Gray, event planner
On June 27th, The Slam is coming to Volcom Skatepark in Costa Mesa. With a mix of skateboarding, environmental stewardship, and live music this event is sure to have something for everyone! The Slam was originally designed around a skate competition that would include local amateurs and national pros. As the event progressed however, combining environmental elements into the mix just made sense. The entire event is going to be powered by solar and bio-diesel, all foodware items will be recyclable and/or compostable, educational materials will be visible throughout, electronics can be brought and recycled at the event, and all waste will be recycled and composted with nothing going to the landfill!
Notable OC bands such as The Crowd, Channel 3, and the Hindu Pirates will be performing live throughout the day, while DJ’s spin for the contest. There will be an area specifically for younger guests with multiple bounce houses, face painting, and an interactive animal exhibit. Various food and merchandise vendors will be present, as well as Create-A-Skate.
The is a FREE event from 11am-8pm. Bring your entire family for a day of fun and sun!!
