11º ROTA DO SOL MOTOFEST 20-22 November 2009
The big motorbike party returns to Joao Pessoa. If you have never been then this is definitely one not to miss. Thousands of bikes from all over Brasil. Plenty of live music and film shows (official and unofficial) and plenty of stalls to buy bike gear and bikes. There’s even a Miss Wet T Shirt competition. There are parades of bikes and a bike run out to Cabedelo to see the start of the Tran Amazonian highway. A great spectacular with a general good feeling about. Takes place at the beach end of Epitacio Pessoa at the junction of Tambau and Cabo Branco beaches
