DAYTONA BEACH Bike Week, now marking its 80th year, may not be your grandfather s or even your great-grandfather s bike rally. A gathering for motorcycle race fans, a drunken party, a biker brawl or a family vacation destination, Bike Week has been a lot of things over the years.
It’s our Mardi Gras, our Fantasy Fest, our Carnival. It’s a portable, 10-day street party of motorcycles of all kinds, eye-popping costumes, bikini-clad women, sidewalk vendors, parades, Clydesdales, beards, tattoos and alcohol. Bikers and locals alike go to nonstop concerts and bike shows, go on long rides or just stay on Main Street for days watching it all go by.
When the bikers arrive, however, they will find reminders that the pandemic is still a reality.
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.
