The 13th Annual Barber Vintage Festival is scheduled for October 6-8, 2017
The 13th Annual Barber Vintage Festival Presented by Triumph will feature an Ace Corner hospitality area, Swap Meet sponsored by Metal Rescue, VJMC gathering, and the Motorcycle Classics show. The fan zone will be filled with vendors, food, and awesome entertainment. Here’s a list of the highlights for the upcoming event:
The American Motor Drome Company’s Wall of Death is a vintage, live action thrill show featuring a 30-ft diameter, silo-shaped wooden cylinder known as a motor drome. Inside the motor drone, daredevils travel along the vertical wall performing trick, fancy, and acrobatic riding. Showtimes will take place Friday through Sunday on the hour.
Ace Corner Barber is an area built in partnership between Ace Cafe London and Dime City Cycles. This hospitality area is dedicated to Cafe Racers, custom builds, and vintage bikes, whether made of steel, or flesh and bone. Ace Corner Barber is a celebration of the timeless, teeth-chattering, soul-shaking speed machines and rides that hailed the streets of London in the 50s and 60s.
Freestyle Motocross shows will impress crowds with jumps and stunts.
The Urias Family is proud to be performing in the original Globe that was built by their great-grandfather almost 100 years ago. The daredevil stunts are performed within the confines of a 16-foot diameter Globe. Globe of Death shows will run continuously Friday through Sunday.
The Royal Enfield Ferris Wheel will be in the Fan Zone at Tram Stop 2. Rides are free for all spectators.
Demo rides will be offered from KTM, Scrambler Ducati and BMW Motorrad.
