MURRELLS INLET, S.C. (WMBF) - It wasnât just bikers who missed out last year when the Spring Bike Rally was rescheduled to July due to COVID-19. It was vendors too.
âOh night and day,â clothing vendor Yehonatan Miron said when he compares last year and this year.
Miron points to his sales, noting that he made more money Sunday than the first three days combined last year.
He says itâs much needed. Many vendors rely solely on bike rallies to make a living, traveling from rally to rally around the country.
While there’s not a huge number of events this weekend, the ones that are happening are huge. Like the Gator Spring Bike Rally and the Eustis Spring Bike Rally & Music Festival. Those two combined are sure to make bikers and non-bikers alike enjoy the weekend.
Mount Dora is also hosting their annual blueberry festival. So for all those blueberry lovers out there, there’s going to be a pie eating contest, blueberry beer and wine, and local blueberry farms selling their blueberries.
There’s plenty more to fill up your weekend. Here’s what’s on tap:
