Get DirectionsExperience the 9th Annual St. Pete BikeFest, November 19–22, 2026
The 9th annual Bert's St. Pete BikeFest rolls back into Tampa Bay Thursday, November 19 through Sunday, November 22, 2026. Hosted at the OCC Road House & Museum in Clearwater, home of the Orange County Choppers crew, and presented by Bert's Barracuda Harley-Davidson, the Fran Haasch Law Group and Visit St. Pete-Clearwater, it's the biggest motorcycle rally on Florida's west coast. Four days of free concerts, a ride-in bike show, a group ride over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and a Harley giveaway draw riders from across the country, and the Gulf beaches of Madeira Beach and John's Pass are just a short ride away.
What to Expect at St. Pete BikeFest 2026
Slaughter and Soul Asylum Headline the Main Stage
The 2026 lineup is led by multi-platinum rockers Slaughter on Friday, November 20, the band behind "Up All Night" and "Fly to the Angels," and Grammy-winning alt-rock band Soul Asylum on Saturday, November 21, best known for "Runaway Train." Standing-room general admission behind the seated area is free. Reserved seats and tables are sold through the OCC Road House, and prices go up on show day, so book early if you want a seat near the stage. Free afternoon concerts from regional bands fill the rest of the weekend.
Free Ride-In Bike Show
Ride your bike in and register it for free to compete for trophies and prizes. Expect custom choppers, baggers, classic restorations and one-off builds, all at the home of Orange County Choppers.
Sunshine Skyway Ride with Paul Teutul Sr.
Join Paul Teutul Sr. of American Chopper fame for a group ride from the OCC Road House over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, one of the most scenic rides in Florida. Check the official schedule for the date and start time.
Harley-Davidson Heritage Giveaway
Every $25 raffle ticket is a chance to ride home on a brand-new Harley-Davidson Heritage, and each ticket comes with a limited-edition BikeFest T-shirt.
Axe Throwing, Pro Wrestling and Parachute Jumps
Between the concerts and bike show, BikeFest keeps the grounds busy with free axe throwing and mechanical bull rides, pro wrestling, parachute jumps, contests and a vendor row full of motorcycle gear, parts, apparel and accessories.
Ride the Gulf Beaches While You're Here
Make a trip of it. Add a few outdoor activities to the weekend, cruise Gulf Boulevard from Madeira Beach through Treasure Island to St. Pete Beach, or park the bike at John's Pass Village & Boardwalk for waterfront dining, live music and shopping after a day at the rally. Mid-70s November weather makes it some of the best riding of the year in Florida.
