Americade returns to Lake George, NY for its 44th year in [2027, dates to be announced]. Headquartered at Fort William Henry Resort, it is widely regarded as the largest multi-brand motorcycle touring rally in the world. Unlike single-brand rallies, Americade welcomes every make and model, drawing tens of thousands of riders and passengers to the Adirondacks each year. The event has run since 1983, founded by Bill Dutcher.
The week centers on the Americade Expo at Charles Wood Festival Commons, a trade show with hundreds of vendors showing the latest gear and accessories. Beyond the Expo, riders take part in demo rides, guided tours, poker runs, and scenic tours through the Adirondack Park. Passengers and non-riders have plenty to do too, including boat cruises on Lake George and stunt and comedy shows.
