 Road Trips: What Happened to the Largest Free Rally in Galveston

Galveston Texas has advertised itself as the largest and only free rally. The first year one could park in the allies and vacant lots for free. Parking on the Strand and driving your motorcycle down the Strand was also free. The first rally hosted over 150,000 fellow bikers.
The second year, Galveston decided to charge for parking in the allies and lots as well as anywhere along the Strand one could park a bike.
This year Galveston has decided to charge for riding your bike down the street on the strand as well as the above charges for parking. I do believe they may even charge for parking on the Strand itself.
I guess this year the free rally is going to cost one $30 for parking over 3days, $5 for being able to ride your bike on the Strand, I think this may be per day or maybe for the whole time, and the escalated hotel prices, has turned the "Free Rally" into one more costly than most pay rallies. How greedy can Galveston get, I guess time will tell.
Thank you , Pete
