"We built the One Show as a bonfire
stoked by motorcycles as art, sport and
culture. This leap to the Memorial
Coliseum makes room for more
attendees, which was needed, and the
message now more than ever is that
everyone is welcome," said Thor
Drake, founder of the One Motorcycle
Show. "The One Show is for riders, non-riders, moto-curious, and
everyone in between — young and
old. It's a celebration." The organizers
say they anticipate 200 custom
motorcycles, 50 artists, 80 vendors, six
bands and 60K attendees at the 11th
annual show. The Pro and amateur flat
track races move onsite and include 15
classifications and a $10K purse.
New Venue for The
One Motorcycle Show
See See Motor Coffee Company, which
operates the One Motorcycle Show
(the One Show), has announced that
the 11th annual edition of its
motorcycle art show, race and cultural
celebration of singular renown will
move to Veterans Memorial Coliseum
in Portland, Oregon.
The iconic venue, designed by
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, opened in
1960 and is considered a masterwork
of mid-century modern architecture
and gives the One Show five times the
space it had last year.
The move to the 197,000 sq ft venue
puts all events for the 2020 One Show
in one place for the first time. That
includes the gallery of more than 200
customized motorbikes representing
all eras, which is the heart and soul of
the show, more than 50 artists,
Saturday's professional and amateur
flat track races, four concerts, and
more than 80 gear and apparel brands
coming together to keep classic
motorcycle culture alive. The One Show
runs from Thursday, February 7 to
Sunday, February 9, 2020. Indian
Motorcycle will support the show as its
headline sponsor.
