Echo Carras, a Daytona Regional Chamber volunteer coordinator, has volunteered at the Chamber’s Bike Week Welcome Center tent for nine years.
“People, for the most part, are just real friendly,” Carrras said. “They're here because they come every year, they love the area, their bikes are beautiful. It's a fun event.”
Carras said the Welcome Center tent has drawn hundreds of bikers and visitors. The tent, located on South Orange Avenue right before the bridge to the barrier island, is open daily during Bike Week, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Friday to Friday, with a final shift from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 7.
This year's Bike Week coincides with the United States' 250th anniversary and Daytona Beach's 150th anniversary.
The chamber’s annual treasure hunt begins at the tent, and participants who visit all 10 locations and receive a stamp on the treasure hunt can return to the tent to receive their limited edition commemorative coin for Bike Week 2026. Visitors can also pick up an official Bike Week poster.
The Daytona Regional Chamber has a key role in the operational planning, marketing, community outreach, and coordination with local and national partners, a Chamber newsletter said. The event has a sizeable impact to the area's culture and economy and it "unites riders of all ages and backgrounds and to showcase the best of Daytona Beach’s hospitality and lifestyle."
The treasure hunt is a partnership with local businesses, with participating businesses ranging from Tanger Daytona Beach, Copper Bottom Craft Distillery and the sponsor AMSOIL.
The Welcome Center also features a map of the United States and a map of the world. Carras said people who show up at the tent can add a pin to the map to show where they’re visiting from. Carras said they’ve had people from all around the world.
“We got some folks here from England, Norway, all over,” she said. “And people have been coming for years and years and years.”
Her favorite part about Bike Week is getting to know the characters, she said.
“You remember the characters,” she said. “It’s fun to see people come back.”
