LEESBURG, FL (352today.com) – Downtown Leesburg will host the 2025 Leesburg Bikefest from April 25 to 27. The annual motorcycle festival is expected to draw a large number of visitors for a weekend featuring live music, bike shows, vendors, and activities.
Now in its 28th year, the event covers more than 30 downtown blocks. Scheduled performers include Dirty Honey, LIT, Fuel, and the Marshall Tucker Band on the Budweiser Main Stage. Additional acts such as Jasmine Cain and Whey Jennings are also slated to appear.
Other attractions include motorcycle stunt demonstrations, custom bike displays, and a variety of vendors selling food, crafts, and merchandise. Some vendors cater to families, offering items like children’s books and toys.
Traffic impacts are expected, particularly along U.S. Highway 441 near downtown Leesburg. Ongoing construction north of the city may contribute to delays. Drivers are advised to plan alternate routes or allow extra time for travel.
To assist with transportation, LakeXpress will operate a Bikefest Shuttle throughout the event. Fares are $1 per one-way trip or $3 for unlimited rides for the day. Students may ride free, and discounted rates are available for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The downtown shuttle stop is located at Main and Canal Streets on the east side of the festival area. More details, including shuttle maps and schedules, are available at LeesburgBikefest.com and RideLakeXpress.com.
Optional VIP packages are available for purchase and include access to designated viewing areas, beverage service, and dinner from Sonny’s BBQ.
