Annual Motorcycle Week has arrived in Laconia, NH., and centered in Weirs Beach. This will be the 102nd annual event making this the oldest Motorcycle Rally in the USA! Beginning Saturday morning June 14 and continuing up through Sunday June 22, 2025 there will be a variety of festivities, and events with tens of thousands of bikers coming to town .
We are still awaiting the schedule of events but when they are available
they can be found here: Just click the link below:Still a couple months away so there is still time to plan . The link above can also provide suggestions for lodging if you so desire. One year Debbie and I attended dressed as bikers just to have fun but neither of us ride motorcycles. At the event we can gather together as a group or just visit individually and enjoy the week with friends. I live in Gilford and normally visit the festivities at least a couple times since with all the noise you can't sleep anyhow. My son and I enjoy the events each year and we just want members of our Meetup Group to know what's happening this June in Laconia in case anyone is interested.
This is a huge event in The Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Hope to see some of you there !!!
