98. Motorcycle Rallies & Events
Some of the biggest events we have revolve around the gathering of motorcycle enthusiasts known as Myrtle Beach Bike Weeks. Each year tens of thousands of bikers descend on the Grand Strand to celebrate big engines and beautiful bikes. Some love to go fast, others love the freedom of riding with no restraints, and some get their kicks from the deep tones of custom exhaust, but one thing they all share is the desire to have a good time. Luckily there are plenty of ways to do that during the bike weeks in Myrtle Beach including lots of nightlife, live music, poker runs, group rides, motorcycle rodeos and plenty more. So if motorcycles and fun on the beach are your thing, it’s time to start booking your vacation — this place fills up!
The sound of thousands of Harleys roaring into town is unmistakable to any local who has been around for this annual event. Taking place each May, the rally features contests, live music up and down the coast, rides, meet-ups, and more.
400,000 attendees to the biggest African-American bike rally in the country. Commonly referred to as Black Bike Week, the event attracts Japanese-style motorcycle fans for a few days of racing, live music, parties, and festivals. This event takes place during Memorial Day Weekend each year!
For those who can’t get enough of riding motorcycles along the Grand Strand, or those who can’t make it to the spring gathering, the fall rally is the perfect excuse to head to Myrtle Beach and spend some time with others who enjoy similar things. Not quite as large as the earlier event, but the weather will still be great, and the camaraderie as good as ever.
