More than 300 people will mark the Go Skateboarding Day (GSD) at the Mission Hills Mall. Meanwhile, Sunday will also see the closing ceremony of the Argentina Cultural Week with tango, soccer, and films. Entry is free.

    GSD is an official annual holiday conceived by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to promote skateboarding. It is usually on June 21. Organizers of the event in Shenzhen decided to celebrate the day Saturday to attract more participants.

    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 U.S. Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez for its work in promoting the sport of skateboarding and encouraging young people to get outside and enjoy the sport.
