Bikes, Blues & BBQ runs September 30 through October 3, 2026, based in Downtown Rogers, Arkansas, with activities spread across Northwest Arkansas including Fayetteville, Springdale, Bentonville, and Eureka Springs. First held in 2000, it has grown into the world's largest charity motorcycle rally. Organizers put 2026 attendance above 300,000 riders and estimate roughly $21.7 million in local economic impact.
The rally is organized by the Rotary Club of Downtown Rogers. Proceeds have raised more than $3 million for local charities since 2000, supporting women, children, and underserved members of the Northwest Arkansas community.
What to Expect
Four days of scenic rides through the Ozarks, live blues and music performances, vendor malls, and food courts. Popular routes include the Pig Trail Corridor, the Jasper Disaster route, and the Beaver Dam Bridge Loop. Arkansas requires eye protection for all riders and DOT-approved helmets for riders under 21.
