Ready for the weekend? Check out Bike Week and other fun things to do in Volusia-Flagler.

Yes, Bike Week is upon us, which means way, way too many bands and events to fit into the weekly Top 5 list of cool things to do.

If you do want to venture out to Bike Week’s opening weekend, here are a few of the big happenings:

For the first time in recent years, the Ocean Center will be hosting Bike Week events.

On Friday’s opening day, the convention center will present the first of three nights of motocross action when AMA Arenacross Series racers navigate a course of jumps, berms and other challenges in the Ocean Center arena.

Additional races are slated for Bike Week’s closing weekend, on March 8 and 9.

Tickets for Friday’s opening session start at $17 at Ticketmaster.com. They also will be on sale Friday at the Ocean Center box office.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for a track party before the races start at 7:30 p.m.

Visit arenacrossusa.com for details.

Also on Friday, the Budweiser Clydesdales will be showcased in a full-hitch parade slated to step off at 3 p.m. outside Teddy Morse’s Daytona Harley-Davidson at Destination Daytona, off the intersection of Interstate 95 and U.S. Highway 1 in Ormond Beach.

Free admission.

Also this weekend, Bike Week will arrive in West Volusia for the annual DeLand Bike Rally.

It features thousands of motorcycles along Woodland Boulevard in the heart of DeLand’s walkable downtown business district. There’s also a midway with motorcycle-related merchandise, as well as music, beer and food.

It runs from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. Visit mainstreetdeland.org for details.

See 'Barbie' at the Casements

If you haven’t seen the box-office blockbuster “Barbie,” or maybe you’re up for another screening of the live-action tale based on the iconic pink-clad children’s toy, here’s another chance:

“Barbie” will be the featured film at the latest installment of the monthly Movies On the Halifax series, showing on a big screen outdoors at Rockefeller Gardens along the shores of the Halifax River in Ormond Beach.

The free showing starts at 6 p.m. Friday at the park, across the street from The Casements at 25 Riverside Drive. You’re welcome to bring along blankets and chairs to make yourself comfortable to watch the movie under the stars.
