One of my favorite events which happens twice a year is the Thunder Beach Rally in Panama City Beach. I lived over 30 years in Pensacola so the first rally I ever attended was Thunder Beach! The beaches and our hotel are amazing. We stay at the Holiday Inn Resort which have added a lazy river Gulf side since our last visit. The bands at Frank Brown Park this year weren’t the big headliners they usually have but the city only gave them permitting last minute to due Covid fears. So, groups like Big Engine and Jasmine Cain rocked the crowd. Vendors were busy selling their wares and the Harley and Indian dealerships parking lots were packed. Radical Randy had an impressive bike show and probably the best attended event was the sound competition. At Hammerhead Fred’s lovely ladies competed nightly for the Miss Panama City Beach title and on Saturday afternoon they had the Ms. Event for ladies a bit older. All and all the event had beautiful weather and a great crowd even with late notice that the “show will go on”! Put this on your list for 2022!!
