When is fall bike week happening in Myrtle Beach? Dates, times, what you need to know
The Myrtle Beach Bike Week fall rally returns in late September this year, and is estimated to draw 25,000 people over the course of the week according to Sonny Copeland, owner of Myrtle Beach Bike Week LLC.
Myrtle Beach Fall Bike Week is from September 26 - October 2.
The Myrtle Beach Spring Bike Week draws about 300,000 thousand people every year, much bigger than the fall rally. Copeland attributes this to schools going back in session, fall festivals, and an emphasis on family time during the fall.
“Everything is going to be just like it is in the spring, just a lot smaller,” Copeland said.
Harley-Davidson at the Beach, a major proponent of the Myrtle Beach Bike Weeks, has the most current updated information about the Fall Bike Week events.
Here’s a list of events scheduled so far:
Rally Kick-off Party on September 26 from 4 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Biker Olympics on September 28 from 2 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Grumpy’s Biker Breakfast on September 29 from 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
Bike Night on September 29 from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Scenic Rally Ride on October 1 at 9:30 a.m.
While there is a long list of vendors that participate in the event, there are few places that attract bikers the most during the rallies. This includes the Harley Davidson Shop at the Beach, Plantation Pancake House and Jamin’ Leather, a leather clothing store in Myrtle Beach.
