The Brevard Veterans Memorial Center on Merritt Island will host the Florida Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom event this weekend, headlined by a Sunday morning patriotic parade ranging from the Pineda Causeway northward to Cape Canaveral.
Nearly 40,000 motorcycles are expected at the event Memorial Day weekend, said Lance Armstrong, Florida chairman of the XXXIII Ride for Freedom.
The COVID-19 pandemic canceled last year s Ride for Freedom, so Rolling Thunder dispersed the national event to a series of smaller state-level rallies, including the one rolling through Brevard this Sunday.
