Laconia Bike Week

Laconia Motorcycle Week has been going on for decades and it is wild sometimes.  There is lots of leather, loud mufflers, loud music and lots of fun, if you're into that scene.  There are vendors all up and down the main drag selling t-shirts and tattoos. Live music is part of big week as well.  Local restaurants and bars have local rock bands every night of the week.

Laconia is also a great place to raise a family.  It has a great school system and the people that I know who live there are loyal and take care of others in their community.

Laconia isn't too far from Boston, if you are looking to go to the big City.
