The last Friday night of Bike Week each year is an event that if you haven’t seen it, you MUST! The huge wooden bike complete with a frightening looking rider stands tall in an open field. Visitors are allowed to sign the bike before the lighting of the bike which happens well after dark. If you haven’t been, let me warn you, GET THERE EARLY! Traffic is backed up to get on the Volusia County Fairgrounds for this. Don’t fret though, there is plenty to entertain you while you wait. Always a great band, and beautiful girls for the Miss Burning Bike Contest keeps us all amused. There are vendors and bars, stunt shows and fire performers. And then the grand finale lighting of the bike. Put this on Bike Week 2026 not to miss list. More photos of the night are on Thunder Roads Florida Facebook. Please like and share!
