STURGIS. THE O-G H-D RALLY.

What makes Sturgis special is different for everyone. For some, it’s because it’s the biggest two-wheeled party in the baddest of lands. For others, it’s the switchbacks, hairpins and pigtails through the Black Hills of South Dakota. The chance to choose freedom over freeways. Or the concerts, daredevils, races & wild events carrying on for 10 whole days in August with hundreds of thousands of family and friends. And all of this since 1938 — it’s truly the O-G.

You’ve got one life and there’s only one Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Don’t miss out August 1-August 10, 2025.

RALLY LIKE ITS 1981
