Once a year, in January, thousands of motorcyclists come from far & wide to gather together and show off their motorcycles, and have a good time.

Since this festival began, more than $600,000 has been raised for local children and families by this annual event. Not bad for an event which, in its first year had approximately 80 motorcycles that raised approximately $150. Every year “Thunder By The Bay” attracts an increasing number of motorcycle enthusiasts & visitors into the Sarasota area.

Dont miss the “Born To Be Wild” Kickoff Party, the “Bikes, Bands & BBQ,” the “Thunder By The Bay” Motorcycle Poker Run, and the Downtown Festival and Bike Show on Main Street.

Motorcycle Ride: Sarasota Causeway - St. Armands & Lido Beach.
