LAKE COUNTY, Fla. — The 22nd annual Leesburg Bikefest kicks off this weekend.
The three-day motorcycle and music event includes 33 blocks of more than 50 concerts, more than 200 vendors, bike shows and more.
Bikefest brings in at least 200,000 bikers from across the country to Leesburg.
The event last year did not bring in the amount of money as expected.
"There (were fewer) vendors and they had a short fall, and the city helped them out by not charging them public safety bills and that was about $25,000," said Al Minner, city manager with Leesburg.
Several streets will be closed for the festivities. Click here for more information.
The shooting and stabbing involved two rival motorcycle clubs.
"I think it was extremely isolated -- an extremely isolated group of people," Clermont resident Lori Mattozzi said. "I don't think it's on the mind of a majority of the people here."
Leesburg police said there were no incidents Friday.
