“As a Sacramento native, I’m incredibly proud to bring the X Games to my hometown. This iconic event allows us to showcase some of the world’s most talented athletes while also highlighting and engaging our local businesses. Sacramento has always had a strong sense of community, and we’re eager to share that energy with the world. We’re committed to creating an unforgettable experience for both local fans and visitors alike,” said Steve Dooner, CEO, California Dreamin’ Entertainment.
