Biketoberfest® celebrates a full-throttle lifestyle born on two wheels. More than 125,000 motorcycle enthusiasts come together each year to enjoy beautiful Florida weather, live music, motorcycle racing at Daytona International Speedway, and miles of scenic rides along famous A1A, historic Main Street or the scenic Loop during this four-day rally. Come experience the Southeast’s best motorcycle rally featuring motorcycle shows, custom bike builds and hundreds of the industry’s top vendors throughout Daytona Beach. All roads lead to this rally.
Is Biketoberfest® cancelled?
This event is hosted by the many businesses that welcome visitors – so it can't be canceled like a traditional ticketed event. Bike enthusiasts can enjoy our beautiful October weather as our destination and our state are open for business.
Are local businesses open?
Yes, our hotels, restaurants, shops and other businesses are open, along with parks and beaches.
Are restaurants and bars open?
Yes. Restaurants and bars are open at 50% capacity indoors, and full capacity outdoors. Social distancing measures must be followed.
Will there be vendors?
Since each city decides whether to issue special vendor permits for activities such as outdoor live music, food and merchandise, the location and number of vendors may be different from past rallies depending on where the venue is located.
Will there be motorcycle racing and vendors at Daytona International Speedway (DIS)?
(Update as of 9/11/2020 from DIS) The Midway area, and Harley-Davidson Thunder Alley and all of its activities during 2020 Fall Cycle Scene in October, will not be in operation. The DAYTONA 200 that was rescheduled from March and was to be held during the Fall Cycle Scene on October 17, 2020 has been canceled. The 2021 DAYTONA 200 will be held March 13. Plans for the 2020 DAYTONA TT race and the Championship Cup Series road-racing program are expected to announce in the near future.
Many countries in the New World and elsewhere officially celebrate as a holiday the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas, which happened on October 12, 1492. The landing is celebrated as Columbus Day in the United States.
The word Halloween or Hallowe'en dates to about 1745 and is of Christian origin. The word "Halloween" means "hallowed evening" or "holy evening". It comes from a Scottish term for All Hallows' Eve (the evening before All Hallows' Day). In Scots, the word "eve" is even, and this is contracted to e'en or een. Over time, (All) Hallow(s) Eve(n) evolved into Halloween. Although the phrase "All Hallows'" is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, all saints mass-day), "All Hallows' Eve" is itself not seen until 1556.
Set your Clocks Back One Hour.
Daylight saving time (DST) or summer time is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months (that feature more daylight) so that people get up earlier in the morning and experience more daylight in the evening. Typically, users of DST adjust clocks forward one hour near the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn.
Starting in 2007, most of the United States and Canada observe DST from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, almost two-thirds of the year. The 2007 US change was part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

Rescheduled to November 13-15 2020
After several months of working with the U.S. Navy and their recreational site at Lake Allatoona they have informed us that they cannot guarantee that they will be fully opened by the time of our scheduled Annual 09-10 October 2020
Many of you have made reservations with cabins and RV spots and pre-paid for their use. I will cover your questions in a moment.
The Navy Lake Site at Allatoona has continued to work with us and reserved another weekend for November 13-15 2020.
1) If you currently have reservations they will automatically transfer to the new dates. You will not have to call or perform any action to be booked for it. Just show up at the new time and enjoy as always.
2) If you cannot make those dates and will need a refund the Navy Lake Site is prepared to do so. Please text me (Toolman) at my contact information below so I can call you back to help arrange the transaction with them. I will need to track any openings that are occurring to make other reservations for those who can attend during that time. (Cabins can go quickly.)
3) If you or your chapter need to take it to church we understand. We just ask that you try not to wait until the last minute so that we may be able to fill the cabin should you decide not to attend.
4) For those of you with reservations that still plan to attend I will also ask you to text me to confirm your attendance.
We look forward to hosting this in our normal fashion and providing the opportunity to meet new Brothers and spread our Brotherhood across the nation for those that can attend. Our flyer will be updated soon and put out once again with the new information for 13-15 November 2020. (13th Meet and greet from 1500 on; 14th Full annual celebration; 15th Check out.)
Thank you Great Eagle Nation for always sharing news of this Annual and making this an event to attend.

It is with a sad regret due to the restrictions of Gov. that we have to cancel the Bourbon Run for this year. We tried with the reschedule but it still caught up to us. So with this decision, the 2021 Bourbon Run will be one for the books. We are sorry for the inconvenience and look forward to seeing everyone soon.
In regards to the hotel room reservations, everyone will need to go ahead and call themselves to cancel their rooms.

A couple of civilian supporters have taken it on themselves to hold a fund-raiser for our Brother Smoke. (Clearly the 3rd objective is being met)
All they are asking from us is for some attendance. It’s on a Saturday and we know it’s a busy day. But if you can make an appearance it would be a great help to our Brother Smoke.
