The Original Blessing of the Bikes
The 51st Blessing of the Bikes – May 2023- Baldwin Michigan
Lake County Chamber of Commerce is proud to be the official organizer of the Blessing of the Bikes.
2023 is the 51st Anniversary of the Original “Blessing Of The Bikes”. This event started with 8 riders and 4 motorcycles in 1972 who gathered at the St. Ann’s Catholic Church. From those humble beginnings, it has grown into one of the largest events in the area. It is attended by bikers and non-bikers alike from around the country and is open to everyone. Families come to walk around downtown Baldwin and look at the bikes and bikers and enjoy the vendors and great food. This event spreads out from Baldwin Michigan to surrounding areas and provides a lot of fun for everyone.
