Starting at 2:00 p.m. and attracting a large crowd, the parade of more than 300 motorcycles was the main event of the festival. Spectators on the sidewalk cheered as the starter pistol set 500 meters of motorcycles moving with their deep bass engine sound.
Harley-Davidsons, crotch rockets, classics and other motorcycles polished by enthusiasts filled Gate 2 Street for about 30 minutes. Fans took photographs and videos of the parade.
There were also events including live music performances and arm wrestling.
