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.
"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.
