“Just having new people come out from different locations and everybody enjoying each other,” Dennis said.
Thousand enjoyed food, live music and of course all the “hogs.”
“I enjoy it because throughout the year it’s quiet, then every so often we get a jump in the tourism,” said Daytona Beach Resident Desiree Declet.

The four-day event comes right after Hurricane Milton damaged several buildings in the area. Many are hoping the biker community can help them recover.
“They support the community in general funds. They also support with a lot of different things that they do charities and ride work,” said Daytona Beach Resident Jennifer Marquart. “They are supporting the community and eating. They are supporting the community and everything that they do. I love it to see everybody come out, and I also love the fellowship that comes with it.”
Several businesses say the bike rally is one of the biggest money makers of the year and it’s also a way to showcase their city to the world.
“Leave all your troubles behind and party,” said Dennis.
Biketoberfest wraps up on Sunday.
