Americade

Americade has attracted over 50, 000 people annually for it's rallies and tours, and attendees can participate in demo rides from all major bike manufacturers, as well as poker runs, boat cruises, motorcycle judging, scavenger hunts, free battery and tire checks, stunt acts, comedy shows, Adirondack adventures, hot air balloon rides and group rides called "MiniTours" to numerous destinations in New York and Vermont.

Alongside the rallies and tours, two locations in Lake George that offer Americade's motorcycle trade show: TourExpo. It's been taking place alongside the rally since May 1983, and is the world's largest touring expo. For many years, Ameritrade has been named one of the American Motorcyclist Association's three national rallies.
