2025 THUNDER BY THE BAY, KICKOFF AND FRIDAY’S IMAGES

Post by Jack McIntyre, Images by Chopper Dave

This past weekend was the 27th Annual Thunder By The Bay Music & Motorcycle Festival, a three-day event held Feb. 14-16, 2025 at the Sarasota Fairgrounds that benefits Suncoast Charities for Children.  National Headline Acts include Blue Öyster Cult (Friday – Feb. 14), Grand Funk Railroad (Saturday – Feb. 15), and Creed Fisher (Sunday – Feb. 16). The Festival features continuous live music, vendors, motorcycle stunt shows, a charity motorcycle ride, bike show, a motorcycle “sound off” competition, biker games, and much more! On-site camping is also available. Our very own Photographer Chopper Dave was on hand once again to image document the event.

This is post 1 of 2. One the 2nd post, we will cover the Saturday & Sunday images.
