Biketoberfest: Daytona Beach revs up recovery after hurricane

Saturday, 19 Oct, 2024 0

Many businesses that traditionally welcome guests for Biketoberfest throughout the Daytona Beach area are now hosting visitors as normal for the 32nd edition of the famed motorcycle rally.

Biketoberfest continues throughout the weekend through Sunday, October 20.

Clean-up following Hurricane Milton has been in full swing with many accommodations, restaurants and event facilities open for the four-day schedule.

Power and Internet is back and many local businesses have been reopening in recent days

“The Daytona Beach area and its community was impacted by the recent storm, some areas more than others,” said Lori Campbell Baker, Executive Director of the Daytona Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“The destination has been working around the clock and our residents and municipalities are making significant progress. We encourage visitors to be thoughtful of our neighbors during the event and avoid driving through areas that have been impacted.”

Venues such as Main Street, Daytona International Speedway, Teddy Morse’s Harley-Davidson Destination Daytona, Iron Horse Saloon, and Beaver Bar are moving forward with planned events.

The Official Biketoberfest Welcome Center is located trackside in Daytona International Speedway’s Fall Cycle Scene display area.

Along with information about the area, the Welcome Center will be handing out free posters, pins and poker chips for visitors.

Biketoberfest was started by the CVB and local partners in 1992 to create a positive economic impact on the community during a traditionally slow time of year.

Many local businesses and employees rely on the economic impact generated from the rally.
