What Is the New Liskeard Bikers Reunion?

The New Liskeard Bikers Reunion is more than just a motorcycle rally—it's a heartfelt celebration of community, camaraderie, and charity. Established in 1999 by local business owner Barry Phippen in support of cancer patients, the event has grown into a beloved tradition that brings together bikers, classic car enthusiasts and families from across North America. It features a weekend of great live music, camping, demo rides, motocross rodeo and lots more. Proceeds from event ticket sales are donated to support cancer patients with Community Cancer Care and the Temiskaming Hospital. The highlight of the weekend is the Canada Parade, a powerful procession that lets motorcycle riders and car enthusiasts from near and far ride together in the spirit of a common cause. It’s an event where bikers, non-bikers, children, grandparents, and “people who don’t even know where the key is on a motorcycle could come and feel comfortable”.
