This is where you will find the most expansive layout of exhibits, bike builders, Official Merchandise, vendors, and daily activities such as the always popular stunt show, bike games and more! For the Autumn 2009 Rally ,Thunder Beach Productions has arranged the biggest displays and the most variety of products we have ever offered at the Thunder Beach Rally. Over the last year improvements at the Park that include a paved road all the way around the exhibit area, and an entrance/exit at Pier Park Road have made this location one of the premier spots to visit at the Rally. Not to mention getting in and out is much safer and convenient by using Pier Park Rd to cross Hwy 98. We encourage (and the City) all riders to use this Motorcycle Only access at Pier Park Rd.
