Bike Nights will take a pause

“Are you going to Bike Night?” This has been such a familiar buzz around Winchester in the summer months, but it’s a buzz that will be put on hold in 2025.

Bike Nights have been an annual tradition in Winchester, featuring family friendly entertainment, vendors, and an astronomical number of motorcycles. Since these bikes were the main feature of the event, the weather needed to cooperate for the events to run. Rain or forecasted rain would often cancel Bike Nights, but when they happened, they resulted in countless smiles.

“After much discussion with our committee members and an opportunity to take stock of the work we have all put in and how much we have accomplished, it has also become obvious that we are all in need of a rest,” writes the Winchester Downtown Revitalization Committee in a social media post.

“With all that being said, moving forward your Winchester Bike Nights will be suspended for 2025. The door is not totally closed for thereafter, but we’ll evaluate things moving forward and see where we stand in early 2026.”

The social media post celebrates all the things that have made Bike Nights a success, including the hard work of volunteers and committee members, as well as the community pride in North Dundas that made the events special. Many locals will surely have their fingers crossed for 2026!
