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.
In January, the Daytona Beach City Commission voted to issue the permits that allow businesses to temporarily present outside activities during the event that runs Friday through March 14. In exchange, those bars, restaurants and shops must agree to limit indoor occupancy to 60% during the event.
