Las Vegas BikeFest returns October 8th–11th, 2026 for its 25th anniversary, bringing four days of motorcycles, live entertainment, custom builds, vendors, stunt shows, and organized rides to Las Vegas. The milestone event spans Craig Ranch Regional Park in North Las Vegas and the Golden Nugget in Downtown Las Vegas, giving riders two distinct hubs for daytime rally activities and evening events.
Established in 2001, Las Vegas BikeFest has built a long-running following among motorcycle riders, builders and fans. The 2026 event marks its 25th anniversary and combines the familiar rally atmosphere with concerts, exhibits, competitions, motorcycle history and special guest appearances.
Motorcycles, Stunt Shows and Custom Builds
Much of the daytime action takes place at Craig Ranch Regional Park, where attendees can explore motorcycles, vendor booths, custom builds and special exhibits throughout the weekend. The schedule includes multiple performances of the Globe of Death stunt show, along with attractions such as the Evel Knievel Experience, Iron Goddess showcase and Jimmy Jet Experience.
Bike builders will also be part of the anniversary celebration through the BikeFest Builders Showcase, highlighting custom motorcycles and the craftsmanship behind them. Visitors can expect a mix of professional builds, specialty machines, and motorcycle culture spread throughout the main rally grounds.
