The second biker rally of 2026 is coming to Port Dover, Ont., for Friday the 13th.
There will be more pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the downtown area than usual, said Ontario Provincial Police in a news release Tuesday.
“A visible police presence will be maintained throughout the day to support public safety and help ensure a positive experience for residents and visitors alike,” said police.
There was also a Friday the 13th in February.
Since 1981, the traditional ride on every Friday the 13th draws thousands of bikers to Port Dover, with visitors coming in from across North America.
Police advise bikers to check weather conditions before driving as there could be sudden changes in temperature and road surface conditions.
Participants are asked to drive sober, obey speed limits, adjust speed to match conditions, maintain a safe following distance, use turn signals, remain alert, avoid distractions and wear appropriate protective gear.
The third and final Friday the 13th event this year will take place in November.
