SCINTILLATING STURGIS
09/12/2025 |
The Friday File: Sturgis, SD, population 7,000 grows during Sturgis Week to 700,000, an incomprehensible increase of 100x, 10,000%. Nevada’s Black Rock City population goes from 0 to 70,000 during Burning Man, but it’s not normally a city. NH’s Laconia rises 25x during Motorcycle Week. Pamplona (Running of the Bulls), Park City, UT (Sundance) and State College, PA (football) all quintuple. August, GA (Masters) and Indio, CA (Coachella), only triple.
