Choosing a rally

Which East Coast motorcycle rally suits your trip?

Each of these East Coast motorcycle rallies has its own season, roads and crowd.

  • Warm weather in late winter: Daytona Bike Week in March, with Speedway racing and rides on A1A.
  • Beach bars and a long coast: the Myrtle Beach Spring Bike Rally in May, centered on Murrells Inlet and the Grand Strand.
  • Free entry and Gulf beaches: Thunder Beach in Panama City Beach, held in spring and again in the fall.
  • Lake and mountain roads: Laconia Motorcycle Week in June at Weirs Beach, close to the White Mountains.
  • A fall trip to Florida: Biketoberfest in October, Daytona Beach’s shorter fall rally.
  • A September shore ride: Roar to the Shore no longer runs, but our Wildwood guide covers the ride, the towns and where to stay.

How we build these guides

Checked facts, plain advice

Dates come from the organizer’s own site or the host city, and each rally page names its sources. When an organizer has not announced dates yet, we say so instead of guessing.

Businesses in the directory are checked against their own website or listing before they go live. Hours and prices change during rally weeks, so call ahead.

We are not affiliated with any rally organizer, venue or brand. If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
