It looks like Laconia, New Hampshire’s Laconia Motorcycle Week is a go for 2021. The Laconia City Council has approved the return of pre-pandemic parking and traffic flow levels for this year’s event. The Council’s vote paves the way for a full capacity 98th Anniversary conduct of the rally. This year’s event will run from June 12 through June 20, 2021.
The rally has long been a mainstay of New Hampshire’s tourism industry. Laconia Motorcycle Week® organizers claim that it is the oldest motorcycle rally in the USA. And they say that they have the “2nd largest demographic of motorcycle riders.”
