PERRY, Ga. — The City of Perry shut down public events this month due to COVID-19 concerns, but thousands of people will gather at the state-run Georgia National Fairgrounds for a huge national bikers roundup.
Organizers call it the nation's largest camping motorcycle rally by African American groups.
Bikers at the fairgrounds say they plan to have fun while staying safe.
Tuesday was the setup and check-in day for the event. RVs and bikers started coming in steadily since the morning.
The county visitors bureau says they expect as many as 40,000 visitors this week, and event organizers say they have guests from all 50 states.
The six-day event goes through Sunday. It features more than 70 vendors, camping, parades, and entertainment.
