The Biker' Reunion in Temiskaming Shores, 90 minutes north of North Bay, wraps up Sunday after attracting large crowds to the three day event.

The event plays host mostly to  bikers, but its family friendly atmosphere attract non-bikers to sample the vendor's and view bikes often worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Demo rides, a woman being shot out of a cannon, monster truck and helicopter rise are just a few of the attractions, with plenty of live music to add to the mix.

A tent city houses hundreds of bikers who camp out for the weekend.

The Bikers Reunion started in 1999 as a fundraiser for cancer and as a community event celebrating the thrill of riding motorcycles. 

In 2004, it became an annual event.  

Last year the Bikers Reunion donated $120,000.00 to the Cancer Care Unit at Temiskaming Hospital, making the total donated to date $935,000.00.  

Thousands of bikers and non-bikers come to this family oriented event from all over North America, Europe and beyond. 

The event averages 6,000 bikes and 25,000 spectators.
