A full weekend of good food, music and motorcycle-related events are underway in downtown Johnstown as the Thunder in the Valley Motorcycle Rally roared back to the city on Thursday for its annual four-day celebration.

Most of the activities are scheduled to take place in three main locations: Central Park, the Suppes Ford Biker Mall at the lower end of Main Street (across from Sargent's Stadium at the Point) and at Peoples Natural Gas Park on Johns Street. Vendors of motorcycle accessories and apparel are open, food trucks are parked and serving a variety of street food options and many of the downtown restaurants are open for a sit-down meal as well.
