There are Promotions companies that put these events on.
They will rent you a space in a prime spot.
For example Dal-Con promotions hosts the Laughlin River Run.
H.P promotions hosts American Heat in Palm Springs and Motorcycle Madness in Santa Maria.

You need to find out who is the official promoter of the event and apply for a space.
Setting up shop in an alley or on someones lawn is usually illegal ,you can be shut down and fined.

There are so many ways to promote at Daytona Bike week. It all comes down to how much exposer you want. The cheapest is actually just riding your bike around with your product on your bike and a small tag showing where you can find it. Something like a company name or a URL. If you are looking for street space, the City of Daytona has a Bike Week office just for this.

Also, you can approach some of the local gathering spots like bars, clubs or dealers and see what their price to sponsor an event is like. Hire some hot models (or better, give your girlfriend and their hot friends an excuse to model) to just walk around wearing t-shirts with your product names on it or leave stickers laying around on the tables of different places.

Frankly, go to Daytona Bike Week with some minor promo stuff and see what happens. Get a feel for it this year. Plan for the big promo next year.

Most of all enjoy and remember to chain down your bike when you park it!!
