- What is Americade?
-
Americade has become the world's largest multi-brand motorcycle touring rally, attracting over 50,000 annually.
It's a convention of tourers, sport-tourers and cruising motorcycles enjoying a week-long festival of motorcycling, including guided tours in the beautiful Adirondack Park and Green Mountains of Vermont, two massive trade shows with nearly 250 vendors, demos and displays from nearly all the major motorcycle manufacturers, and much, much more.
To participate, most attendees register for a full-week wristband, giving them access to the trade shows, the demos and displays, Americade’s headquarters where many events take place and much more.Americade is a gathering of friendly, fun-loving folks, for whom motorcycling is a social hobby, but not some form of rebellion. It's NOT the place for shows of speed, hostile attitudes, or illegally loud motorcycles. Americade supports the AMA position that "Loud Pipes Risk Rights".
- Americade's New Headquarters: Ft. William Henry Resort
-
After 28 years located at Roaring Brook Ranch on the outskirts of the town of Lake George, Americade is centralizing and moving its social headquarters closer to its two TourExpo tradeshow locations at the Beach and The Forum in Lake George.Starting in June 2011, the convention's HQ will be the Fort William Henry Resort, overlooking Lake George, on the hill above the Beach Road Parking Lot where Americade's daily MiniTours assemble.
"Many of our attendees wanted the convenience of being able to park and walk between our headquarters, the tradeshow, the boat cruises and the village shops and restaurants. This move will make that possible" said event founder, Bill Dutcher. "Furthermore, many Americaders will be able to attend evening events at our social headquarters and walk back to their motels, or catch the regularly-scheduled village trolleys. We've given the matter plenty of thought over the past 28 years… we didn't exactly rush the decision."
Fort William Henry Resort will host many of the demo rides, some factory displays, judging competitions, seminars, fashion shows, and most of the parties. Americade will utilize the entire property including its conference center and banquet rooms. "The spacious back lawn of the Fort provides the absolutely best view of the lake, and will also be a great place for our get-togethers" said Christian Dutcher.
Event registration and check-in will remain at Holiday Inn, just up the street from Fort William Henry. Pre-registered Americaders can pick up their packets starting Monday, June 6.
Americade has become the world's largest multi-brand motorcycle convention, drawing tourers from all over the globe to this upstate NY village which serves as the gateway to the Adirondack Mountains. Americade 2011 is scheduled for Monday - Saturday June 6 - 11. The TourExpo tradeshows at the Forum and the Beach open on Tuesday June 7.
