RECORD numbers are expected for this Sunday's Festival of Jurby.
A number of motorcycle racing heroes - including TT legend John McGuinness - will be in attendance.
Last year the event attracted more than 10,000 people.
The festival, run by the Isle of Man branch of the Vintage Motor Cycle Club (VMCC), takes place at Jurby airfield.
It is part of a week long series of events run by the organisation as part of the Manx Grand Prix Festival that will also include rallies, a parade lap around the Mountain Course and a Concourse d’Elegance in Castletown Square on Thursday, September 1.
The Festival of Jurby is a free event and will feature vintage motorcycles and vehicles, together with a host of attractions for all the family.
Classic bikes will be featured in a series of 20 minute parade laps around the Jurby airfield race circuit where spectators can see some of the famous bikes from motorcycling history in action.
This year attractions will include the appearance of more than 40 Indian Motorcycles, organised by the Indian Owners' Club.
An Indian motorcycle was notable as the first winner of the 1911 TT, the first race on the Mountain Course.
Pete Gagan will be bringing a replica of the 1911 bike.
John McGuinness will be riding his 2007 TT winning Superbike and also attending will be his Honda legends team-mate Keith Amor, World Superbike racer Jonathan Rea, multi-world champion Brian Reid riding a Loctite Yamaha, New Zealand's triple TT winner Graeme Crosby and Nick Jefferies who will be riding his RC45, an ex-TT machine.
Fourteen-time TT sidecar Champion Dave Molyneux will be bringing his George O'Dell Yamaha 1977 World Championship machine raced by George O'Dell.
Other attractions at the show include an Italian dedicated marquee - celebrating 100 years of Benelli - as well as other notable manufacturers such as Gilera, MV and Ducatis.
There will also be the first opportunity for people to see the new three-wheeled Morgan, fitted with a lightweight chassis, a motorcycle engine and simple transmission.
Tony East, Secretary of the Isle of Man Vintage Motorcycle Club, said: "This is now the third year that we have been involved with the Festival of Jurby and our second as part of the Manx Grand Prix Festival and the event is growing every year.
"There is a real passion for vintage and classic machines from visitors and residents and we believe that our event now represents the world's finest museum of veteran, vintage and classic machines still in working order."
The action will move south of the Island to the Southern 100 Club on Thursday, September 1, where a cavalcade of riders will be meeting in the club's paddock at 4pm for a 4.30pm start before completing a lap of the Billown circuit and then heading into Castletown for a Concourse d’Elegance in the main square.
There will also be a performance by the Manx Jazz Aces, entertaining paraders and spectators.
Geoff Corkish, political member for Isle of Man Tourism, said: “The VMCC's festival of Jurby and their associated parades have become an important and integral part of the Manx Grand Prix Festival.
"The club's events are a great celebration and showcase of motorcycling history and their popularity is a tribute to the hard work that the club puts in throughout the year.
"They are a valued partner of the department's in making the festival a success."
The Festival of Jurby takes this Sunday (August 28), starting at 10.30am. Parking and admission is free.
