    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The 84th annual Bike Week is attracting over 500,000 bikers to the Daytona Beach area. The event, spanning a week, commences officially on Friday and provides a diverse range of entertainment activities across the region.

    Whether as a local getaway, a vacation, or an escape from the cold up north, thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts are riding into the area.

    The crowds are expected to take over areas in Daytona Beach, DeLand, Ormond, and beyond.

    ”You hear that sound? It’s never going away because it is Bike Week,” said Johnny Sanchez, owner of John’s Rock ‘n Ride on Main Street.

    For businesses in Daytona Beach, especially those on Main Street, Bike Week is a significant economic boost.

    “At the World’s Most Famous Brewery, Tom Betts humorously refers to this period as our ‘Black Friday.’ While it extends beyond a single day, it effectively serves as our Black Friday, significantly enhancing business,” he remarked.

    The economic impact extends throughout Volusia County, Sanchez emphasized.

    Sanchez emphasized, “Bike Week is a crucial source of revenue for many individuals – it extends beyond just us on Main Street and impacts various areas, upon which many people rely for their livelihoods.”

    Recently, the city held a meeting attended by over 100 business owners to discuss the future of events like Bike Week. The city is considering changes to aspects such as parking regulations and increasing vendor fees, which could affect future events if passed by the commission.

    A city spokesperson told News 6 that a workshop will be held in the near future to discuss these changes, though a date has not yet been set.

    “Everybody wants a little piece of the action, but you just got to play the game with the city,” said Sanchez.

    As Bike Week kicks off, safety remains a top priority.

    “Somehow, we have folks that come into town and wherever they’re going is more important than anyone else so because someone cuts you off in traffic, it shouldn’t invoke a violent response,” said police chief Jakari Young. “Wherever you go throughout the city over the next 10 days, please be patient.”
