What are COVID restrictions during Daytona Bike Week?
At the event’s traditional hub on Main Street in Daytona Beach, indoor capacity at many familiar watering holes will be capped at 60%, although there will be music blaring from outdoor stages and the usual array of outdoor vendors selling everything from T-shirts to grilled turkey legs to ice-cold beers.
