Forget the silver bells, for a weekend: the roaring engines of several hundred motorcycles may be the true sound of the season for children hoping for a gift this Christmas.
Sunday, thousands of bikers - including many dressed in the familiar red and white winter garb worn by Santa Claus - will rumble across the Space Coast as part of the 33rd Annual ABATE Motorcycle Toy Run to bring several truckloads of toys to be distributed this holiday season.
"It's a great event. And for a short period of time our traffic will be affected so we're asking the public to be aware and to plan accordingly," said Cpl. David Jacobs, spokesman for the Brevard County Sheriff's Office.
The procession of motorcycles - organized by the ABATE of Florida, Brevard County chapter - will mean heavy traffic along some of Brevard County's most heavily traveled roadways, including U.S. 1. The group will also have Santa Claus as the grand marshal.
