Post Hurricane Milton Update

Daytona's world-famous Main Street, Daytona International Speedway, Teddy Morse’s Harley-Davidson Destination Daytona, Iron Horse Saloon, Beaver Bar, and local motorcycle dealerships are moving forward with planned events for the 32nd edition of this popular motorcycle rally. Clean-up following Hurricane Milton is in full swing with many accommodations, restaurants, and event facilities preparing to host aspects of the four-day schedule.

“The destination is working around the clock and our residents and municipalities are making significant progress. Many local businesses were up and running by Monday, October 14, and more are opening daily. We encourage visitors to be thoughtful of our neighbors during the event and avoid driving through areas that have been impacted. Please be mindful of areas that may contain storm debris and/or inoperable traffic lights, and ride with extra care during your stay.”

— Lori Campbell Baker, Executive Director of the Daytona Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. 

Visit St. Augustine During Biketoberfest

Bikers coming to Daytona's Biketoberfest enjoy exploring the surrounding areas especially St. Augustine, a bike-friendly community with history, attractions, award-winning restaurants and bars, and comfortable places to stay. Each year, thousands of bikers stay in St. Augustine for the Biketoberfest weekend, with plenty of places to shop and ride around town. Visitors can cruise over the Bridge of Lions or the Vilano Bridge, ride through the ancient streets of the nation's oldest city, or take in the ocean breeze on scenic A1A in St. Augustine Beach. The city sets aside metered lanes for bikers all around the plaza, so there's plenty of space to park a bike while strolling around town.

Before, after, and between Biketoberfirst events, folks are encouraged to ride various routes in the area, including visits to the Oldest City. For more information on Biketoberfest in St. Augustine, read "Biketoberfest"® 

Biketoberfest History

This popular weekend for motorcycle enthusiasts traditionally includes a multitude of motorcycle events like shows and rallies, live music, scenic rides along A1A, and other historic Florida roadways, including a robust nightlife scene, with bars on Main Street, such as Froggy's, Dirty Harry's, Main Street Station, and the Boot Hill Saloon offering food and drinks, as well as live entertainment and giveaways. This is one of the most popular events in the country for motorcycle enthusiasts (second only, perhaps, to Bike Week in Daytona in the spring).

Biketoberfest was established 30 years ago by the Daytona Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. The event is traditionally held the weekend immediately following Columbus Day with most bike vacationers staying the entire week. The event features a 12-mile ride along a series of scenic state and county highways in Volusia County known as the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail. Other popular rides include up and down Main Street and Beach Street in Daytona, through various state parks such as Tomoka State Park and DeLeon Springs State Park, and to the historic Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, located just south of Daytona Beach in Ponce Inlet. Visitors can participate in, or watch, multiple motorcycle races and demos on the high banks of the newly repaved Daytona International Speedway.
