Biketoberfest event info in brief

Biketoberfest event info in one place: Biketoberfest runs October 15 to 18, 2026. Below are where it happens, what a typical day looks like, the riding laws to know and who runs it. Always confirm the schedule on the official Biketoberfest page before you travel.

Dates and format

The 34th Biketoberfest runs Thursday, October 15 to Sunday, October 18, 2026. The Daytona Beach Area CVB promotes the rally, but the events themselves are put on by venues, dealers, bars and parks across Volusia County and beyond. Activity builds on Thursday and is busiest over the weekend.

Daytona International Speedway

The Speedway is the closest thing the rally has to a headquarters. Racers take over the road course for four days with the American SportBike Racing Association (ASRA) and the Championship Cup Series (CCS), and spectators can buy infield admission only. ASRA’s posted 2026 schedule runs Friday to Sunday and includes everything from supersport classes to the Unlimited Superbike Shootout and the Barnett National Sidecar Challenge. The infield also hosts a motorcycle marketplace with vendors, manufacturers and demo rides. Check DaytonaInternationalSpeedway.com for tickets and gate details.

The CVB’s Biketoberfest Welcome Center sits trackside in the Speedway display area at 1801 West International Speedway Boulevard. Pick up maps, visitor guides and free pins, posters and poker chips. Riders who registered online for a pin pass collect their 2026 pin here.

Main Street, Beach Street and Midtown

Main Street on the beachside is Daytona’s traditional rally strip, anchored by long-running spots like Boot Hill Saloon. Across the Halifax River, Beach Street runs past the riverfront shops and Indian Motorcycle Daytona Beach toward the Midtown Historic District on Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Boulevard, where a Midtown celebration with live music and food vendors is planned at Cypress Street Park.

Both Main Street and Mary McLeod Bethune Boulevard have event closures during the rally. Trikes and motorcycles with sidecars are allowed in, but Slingshots are not permitted on either street while they are closed.

US 1 in Ormond Beach

North of Daytona, US 1 is lined with rally stops. Destination Daytona is home to Teddy Morse’s Daytona Harley-Davidson, which plans vendors, food trucks, bars and live entertainment. The Iron Horse Saloon posts its own Biketoberfest band schedule, and the Broken Spoke sits on the same corridor.

FAQ

Questions riders ask

Are Slingshots allowed on Main Street during Biketoberfest?

No. During the rally’s street closures, Slingshots are not permitted on Main Street or on Mary McLeod Bethune Boulevard in Midtown. Trikes and motorcycles with sidecars are allowed. The City of Daytona Beach aims to protect closed streets with portable barriers, and police add other safety measures when those barriers are not available.

Can I watch the motorcycle racing at Daytona International Speedway?

Yes. ASRA and CCS run four days of motorcycle racing on the Speedway’s road course during Biketoberfest. Spectators can buy infield admission only, so plan to watch from the infield rather than the grandstands. Ticket prices and gate times come from the Speedway, so check its website before you head over.

How do I get the free Biketoberfest pin?

Register for a pin pass on Biketoberfest.org before the rally, then pick up your 2026 pin at the CVB’s Biketoberfest Welcome Center, located trackside in the display area at Daytona International Speedway. The Welcome Center also hands out free posters, poker chips, maps and visitor guides, so it makes a good first stop when you arrive.

What is the Biketoberfest MotoPassport?

MotoPassport is a scavenger hunt inside the free Biketoberfest app. During the rally you check in at 12 participating locations around the region, and the first 300 people to complete it receive a collectible coin. It is an easy way to find stops you might otherwise ride right past.
