Description
The Native Americans would fish with a special basket called a weir. They would use several weirs in the channel to trap the fish. Hence, the name "Weirs Beach." It is also commonly referred to as "The Weirs."
In June 1916, 150 motorcyclists converged upon Weirs Beach in Laconia, New Hampshire, marking the beginning of Laconia Motorcycle Week. This event was organized by several New England motorcycle dealers, and the very next year, the Federation of American Motorcyclists sanctioned the 1917 gathering as the first Gypsy Tour in Laconia. Laconia Bike Week is now one of the top three bike events in the Nation.
