The State of NH wants Bike Week to be spread out all over the state. They have been pushing for this for years. Due to politics, economic climate and other factors it has been a slow but steady spread... Vendors in Meredith was the first step... then the other Harley dealers in Concord & Seacoast got involved. Now North Conway is trying to get in on the act. The state encourages riders to go elsewhere by an overwhelming police presence in the Weirs.

As far as LaconiaFest goes... the City of Laconia got caught sleeping on duty. A shady concert promoter comes in and promises 30K sized crowds? But most of the bands he books would have a hard time selling out the Casino Ballroom (3K seats). NONE of the bands booked would have sold out Meadowbrook (8.5K seats) The City Manager was pretty dumb on this and did not remotely do due diligence!
