Maybe...that’s a good question...one that should be answered before you spend your money with them. Why wouldn’t you become a Rally Patron to keep the Rally and its yearly visitors here locally, in beautiful Laconia?
A list of our Rally Patrons for 2020 are on pages 48-49. You can also find our Rally Patrons on our website, and you can easily spot the businesses that support the Rally by a Rally Patron sticker on their door/window. For more info, contact the Laconia Motorcycle Week® Association at 603-366-2000. Remember... SUPPORT THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE RALLY!!! H
