Hundreds of thousands of riders will cross the causeway to Galveston Island for four days of non-stop entertainment.
This year’s rally will feature concerts day and night on two sound stages; a variety of juried bike & car shows; a bike rodeo games event; 100’s of vendors selling all things motorcycle culture; and, new this year… Motorcycle Beach Races presented by Harley- Davidson.

Saturday’s rally activities also include Outlaw Dave’s annual charity Ranch Ride in the morning and, Dave will once again serve as emcee at Saturday night’s Miss Lone Star Rally spokesmodel competition. A large part of what makes the Lone Star Rally so unique is its setting.

At the center point of activity is The Strand, where thousands of rides roar their way up the street in a thunderous parade showcasing the hottest custom paint and coolest aftermarket accessories.
