| Description: |
Johnstown's annual Thunder in the Valley® motorcycle rally is held the fourth weekend in June. While the City of Johnstown serves as the hub of the rally, related events take place throughout the entire Johnstown Region. According to the Johnstown/Cambria County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), rally planners make every effort to provide a wide variety of events and activities so that Thunder is enjoyed by everyone, including area residents who help to roll out the welcome mat for visiting bikers.
"The strong appeal of Thunder," CVB Director Lisa Rager says, "is that everyone here goes out of their way to make the bikers feel welcome; the residents have a ball and it's a very relaxed but festive atmosphere." Dailey points out that many of the main streets in the downtown are designated for motorcycle parking only.
Maps of scenic rides, the official program book, visitors guides and attraction brochures are available the welcome tent which is staffed by friendly, knowledgeable volunteers. Visitors are encouraged to sign the guest book and place a stick a pin in the large U.S. map indicating their town of origin.
Vendors offering a variety of leather products, cleaning products, helmets, stickers, accessories, jewelry and other goods will be located in four downtown areas, including Central Park, lower Main Street, Thunder MegaMall and parking lots adjacent to the train station. Central Park and the Train Stationwill also have live musical entertainment with bands playing rock, oldies, blues, country and jazz.
The natural beauty of the Johnstown region is an attraction in and of itself, where its winding back roads lure bikers seeking great rides from spring through autumn or until the snow falls. |
