Laconia Bike Week
It’s more than a T-shirt!
No matter where you are in New Hampshire, there’s always a national
park close by. The roads, the rolling hills, the lakes, the forests all make
us want to ride with or without a helmet. Being in Eastern Canada we
are privileged to be close to this event.
Since 1923, Laconia is the June Rendez-Vous. It’s the oldest and it’s
one of the biggest biker gatherings of all. Year after year 375,000
peoples attend the event that took place from June 9 to 17.
There are more and more tourist attractions in the region. The organizers
try to spread out the activities outside of Weirs Beach to accommodate
the growing crowds.
