Now that the 4th of July has come and gone, there’s no denying it-summer is officially here. And while the fireworks may be over, Quiksilver wants to keep you cool, casual and celebrating all season long with a variety of events across the US. So don’t fret if you are far from the beaches of Malibu because Quiksilver is kicking off their “Up In Smoke Midwest Skate Tour” in Chicago. Today you can head on down to Wilson Park for some burgers, buns and action with Danny Garcia, Justin Brock, David Clark, Kyle Leeper and Reese Forbes.

If their Sunset Summit party in Los Angeles was any indication of Quiksilver’s ability to host the hottest events around town, the “Up In Smoke Midwest Skate Tour” will be burning hot. Other stops include Milwaukee, Madison, and Minneapolis.

The Sunset Summit was the place to be

One Hollywire contributor was on site in the Hollywood Hills at their LA event hosted by Vita Luna Group and Night Vision Entertainment. Sponsors included Quiksilver, Coca Cola, and Monster energy drink. There was great food, great energy and lots of buff bods.
