This is probably the biggest motorcycle event of the year in south Florida, thousands of bikes and many-more people! Be sure and check-out the bands, they have multiple stages and it's always rockin'! They have vendors, but they are heavily slanted towards the H-D crowd. it is a very entertaining time. Plus, it's a charity benefit to provide kids w/some joy at Christmas they may not otherwise get. :eusa_dance:
