When are remaining Myrtle Beach bike weeks for 2025 after spring rally? Dates to know

The first bike week of the year has passed, but there are still two more to go for the Grand Strand.

The Spring Myrtle Beach Bike Rally wrapped up on Sunday, May 18 after welcoming thousands of motorcyclists, musicians, vendors and more to the south end of the Grand Strand for 10 days.

Now locals and visitors alike look toward the Atlantic Beach Memorial Day Black Pearl Cultural Heritage and Bike Festival, as well as the Fall Myrtle Beach Bike Rally.

Whether you’re planning to explore the rallies or avoid the area entirely, here are the remaining 2025 bike dates to know.

Atlantic Beach Memorial Day Black Pearl Cultural Heritage and Bike Festival

Frequently referred to as Black Bike Week, The Atlantic Beach Memorial Day Black Pearl Cultural Heritage and Bike Festival returns every May for Memorial Day weekend. In 2025, the festival will run from Friday, May 23 to Monday, May 26.

The festival historically welcomed Black bikers when they were turned away from segregated events and facilities, and it remains a celebrated cultural staple today. While official vendors and entertainment will set up in Atlantic Beach, attendees frequent central and north areas of the Grand Strand, as well.

Fall Myrtle Beach Bike Rally

Spring bike weeks wrap up in May, but bikers return in the autumn for the Fall Myrtle Beach Bike Rally. This year’s rally is set to span Friday, Sept. 26 through Sunday, Oct. 5.

Although the fall bike week is smaller than its sister event, the Spring Myrtle Beach Bike Rally, it draws plenty of bikers. Rally attendees visiting the Grand Strand tend to congregate around biker favorites in the strand’s south end, like The Beaver Bar and Spokes and Bones.
