More than 15,000 biking enthusiasts are expected at the 35th annual Donnie Smith Bike Show, the premier custom bike show in the Midwest, at Saint Paul RiverCentre on Saturday and Sunday, March 23-24.

Over 150,000 square feet will showcase more than 100 of the best baggers, custom choppers, retro bobbers and unique cruisers in the country. This year is going to feature their traditional bike show with over 35 classes, and 20 custom bikes in the new showcase.

Vendors will be selling unique goods from across the Midwest during the show and some of the biggest names in the biker world will be on hand, including Donnie Smith and Neil Ryan, and sponsors Dennis Kirk, Law Tigers, Saint Paul Indian, Buffalo Chip, and Coors Beer.

Donnie Smith Chopper Class Challenge continues to attract attention from schools across the country. Students from Minnesota will compete in designing custom-built bikes using parts donated from generous suppliers. Finished bikes will be available for sale at the show with all proceeds going to each school's respective shop programs.

$900,000 has been donated to charities like the Special Olympics through the Sturgis Buffalo Chip Legends Ride.

In addition to the bike show, there will be a massive 45,000 square-foot swap meet area to help bikers get ready for the road this spring.

This show is a favorite within the motorcycle community and is a sign that riding season is right around the corner.
