It is much like any bike rally. This year it is moving back to the All-Star resort which may be better for all involved (less mud). Looks like Saturday night will rock with Back in Black (Awesome Band) and Jackyl.
If you are into American Iron, ugly women, men dressed up like pirates, drunken stupidity, over-priced food, and turning perfectly good gasoline into useless noise, then this is the place for you! I have personally enjoyed seeing V-Twins on dynos pumping out 70 horsepower and the owners high-fiveing their buddies cause their new stage II kit is working like a dream. There was also a guy selling raffle tickets ($20) for an American assembled motorcycle. This same guy (and same bike) was seen at Thunder in the Valley, Bike week in Atlantic City, and Daytona. I questioned him about it and he got mad and asked me to leave. If you are lucky, you'll catch a whiff of someone who who hasn't showered for days. That always completes the experience for me.
If however, you just like to people-watch and want to hear any of the bands that are scheduled, then you may have a good time. I sometimes go over for the day with my American Brand-riding friends but the rallys for me have lost their flavor. The bottom line is this: people who own American assembled motorcycles spend money like there is no tomorrow. Therefore the rally is directed toward them.
