Displaying hundreds of units from top brands in motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs and more, this year’s event welcomed an increase in exhibits, visitors, and brand-new attractions including a Strongman and Ironman Competition.

“The Maritime riding community definitely showed up to the 2020 edition of Motorcycle & Powersport Atlantic,” says Scott Sprague, Event Manager. “It’s great to be able to bring together folks from across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and beyond. This is the top event of its kind in the region, and in hearing feedback from visitors and exhibitors, this year was a hit amongst attendees, exhibitors, and partners.”

A temporary riding track set up for the event hosted kid’s riding demos and impressive riding tricks from Stunt 902 throughout the weekend. Tattoo and beard competitions were also held onsite, showing off some of the region’s most talented artists and beard enthusiasts.
