City of Daytona Beach issued the following announcement on Oct. 11.
Biketoberfest 2021 - the 29th annual edition of the fall motorcycle rally in the Daytona Beach area begins Thursday, Oct. 14, and continues through Sunday, Oct. 17.
We are anticipating around 125,000 visitors during this year’s rally. Most of the event traffic will be centered in Daytona Beach, particularly around Main Street, Downtown Daytona Beach and Daytona International Speedway.
To ensure a safe environment where residents and visitors can move with a minimum of traffic issues, please make a special note of the following:
Those wishing to enter or leave beachside are encouraged to use the bridges at International Speedway or Seabreeze/Oakridge boulevards.
Excessive pipe noise is prohibited by Florida law and Daytona Beach city ordinance. Motorcycles must have mufflers. Violations will be enforced!
We will not be implementing the “Pink P” for beachside access this year on any of the high-rise bridges or the Main Street drawbridge.
“Motorcycles Only” will be in effect for Main Street. Other vehicles will be directed elsewhere or must receive special permission to access.
Curbside parking on Main Street will be limited to allow for greater physical distancing on the sidewalks.
Motorcyclists arriving and leaving festival areas via residential streets should proceed with extra caution due to pedestrian traffic.
