12th Annual Old Snohomish Antique & Classic Motorcycle Show in Historic Downtown Snohomish. This great community event started at 9am on 1st street between Avenue D & Cedar Street in historic downtown Snohomish. The Bike Show voting began at noon. By 11:00 am the streets were already packed with spectators, many people enjoying the great weather as much as the custom bikes. This annual event includes live music, performance by Seattle Cossacks motorcycle stunt drill team, Food, vendors, shopping, museum, other music and trophies.
In 2006, the event attracted about 9,000 motorcycles and 24,000 people. The motorcycle show has grown steadily since it started with 500 motorcycles in 1997. There was a strong police presents and the atmosphere was anything but the stereo-typical biker event. Traffic in small town Snohomish was heavy but kept moving. John Hanson said he and his family came up from Seattle and traffic was heavy everywhere. "I wish that our leaders would see that we need more roads. I guess until they do I will learn to be patient. My family comes up to Snohomish for the show every year." All the spectators seem to be enjoying the day.
