13th Annual Leesburg Bikefest 2009 and Custom Motorcycle Show

by Boss Hawg on April 21, 2009

The 13th annual Leesburg Bikefest April24, 25 and 26, sponsored by the Leesburg Partnership, in Lake County comes alive with the roar of over 300,000 thousand bikers and motorcycle riders from throughout the United States when they ride into Leesburg, Fl for the 3 day motorcycle rally.

The Leesburg Bikefest is one of the most consistently popular Bikefests in the entire country, and here’s why!  The City of Leesburg Florida does a great job of welcoming bikers, year after year.  During the Leesburg Bikefest, all traffic in Downtown Leesburg is open to motorcycles only and that is one of the things that we like best about the Leesburg Bikefest.  It makes it safer for bikers, and it makes it really nice for the pedestrians who just like to walk around and admire some nice looking chrome and iron on the custom motorcycles.  Ride in, it’s like one big bike show!

Businesses in downtown Leesburg realized they needed to revitalize, and the Leesburg Partnership certainly has done a superb job.  The whole city of Leesburg gets involved, folks are friendly, and the entertainment, whether it is rock or country, is top notch, and there are 8 stages with over 40 concerts to hear your favorite music from!  The police officers are nice and friendly, you really have to show your ass to get in trouble here!  Great entertainment, bars, beer, food, great people, and motorcycles…you cannot possibly go wrong!

Downtown is wide open…Ms. Leesburg Bikefest Contest, Rat’s Hole Custom Motorcycle Show, Biker Games, and Vendors galore.  The motorcycle rally events are held in Historic Downtown Leesburg on West Main St.  from Canal Street to 9th Street and are open daily from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm.  The bike show will have 17 categories including antique scooter, motor bike and sports bike.   All bikes must run to enter and trophies are awarded to the winners.
