There is typically a large number of spectators on the side of the road as the motorcyclists pass out candy to people along the parade route, Clark County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.

Drivers are being reminded to not drive alongside the bikes and to plan an alternate due to the increased traffic in the area of the streets involved in the parade.
