This weekend's Tallahassee Bike Fest will benefit Tallahassee Honor Flight

Tallahassee Bike Fest

Leon County's big regional park off Apalachee Parkway will be the destination for thousands of motorcycle enthusiatics this weekend. This year's Tallahassee Bike Fest is also a fund raiser for the Tallahassee Honor Flight for local military veterans.

Giovana Williams - who prefers to be called "G" - said the rally has been attracting more and more people since she and her husband started it a few years ago.

"The first year we had around 1,500. Last year we had just over 2,500. We're expecting about 3,500 this year."

She added there will be plenty to interest bike fans, but there will also be lots of other attractions as well.

"This year we're doing 4 days. It starts Thursday, April 11th until Sunday the 14th. There are a lot of activities, like 7 free concerts and a kids' corner every day."

Plus food trucks and much more.
