What’s Happening?
The day kicks off with a gathering at the gas station in Folsom. Riders will meet at 9:30 AM for a pre-ride talk at 9:45 AM, ensuring everyone is ready and raring to go. By 10:00 AM, kickstands will be up, and the ride begins. Ensure your tank is full because this ride is about spreading joy!
The Ride
This isn’t just any ride—it’s a parade of motorcycles cruising through the streets with one mission: delivering unwrapped toys and food to families in need. The ride will take participants from Folsom to the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley, about an hour’s drive away. Along the way, riders will pass through downtown Nevada City and Grass Valley, creating a spectacle of holiday spirit on two wheels.
Join the Parade
While decorating your bike isn’t mandatory, it’s highly encouraged. Imagine the delight on children’s faces as they see motorcycles adorned with tinsel, lights, and holiday-themed helmets. If you’re feeling crafty, there are plenty of places to pick up decorations, like Grocery Outlet, Walmart, or Dollar Tree.
And if you need some inspiration or want to join a bike decorating day, there’s help available to get those creative juices flowing.
Rain or Shine
Don’t let a little rain dampen your spirits! This event goes on rain or shine because Santa never lets bad weather stop him. If it rains, the plan is to ride directly to the fairgrounds and back. But if the skies are clear, there might be an additional post-toy run route for those who want to keep the fun going.
Supporting Families in Need
Riders will deliver their gifts once at the Nevada County Fairgrounds (1228 McCourtney Rd, Grass Valley, CA). Hundreds of families eagerly await this moment each year as bikers unload toys and food donations that make Christmas possible for many who might otherwise go without.
Vendors and More
The event also features food and merchandise vendors at the fairgrounds. It’s a great opportunity to grab some holiday treats or pick up a souvenir from this memorable day.
Why You Should Join
This event isn’t just about riding—it’s about community and making a difference during the holiday season. It’s an opportunity to join fellow riders and bring joy to those who need it most. Plus, it’s included in our Christmas Guide 2024 as a must-attend event for anyone looking to add some excitement to their holiday season.
So mark your calendars for December 14th! Whether you’re riding solo or bringing friends along for the ride, the Nevada County Food & Toy Run promises a day of fun, camaraderie, and giving back. Don’t miss out on being part of this incredible tradition that brings smiles and joy across communities.
Remember: unwrapped gifts only! Let’s make this year’s toy run one for the books!
