Concerts, burnouts & Waka Flocka Flame: Don’t miss Myrtle Beach Bike Rally events

The Myrtle Beach Spring Bike Rally is back.

From May 8 through May 17, bikers and spectators will enjoy vendor expos, food and drinks, scenic rides and plenty of live entertainment across the Grand Strand. This year, visitors can catch tons of local acts, as well as big names like Waka Flocka Flame.

“There’s events and concerts going on all over town,” said Myrtle Beach Bike Rally Chairperson Lee “Spider” Webb, “Let’s rock and ride the rally.”

At biker spots all over town, vendors will showcase custom bike builds, gears, equipment, merch and local crafts. This year, whiskey lovers can enjoy a free tasting event with the Crown Royal 18-Wheeler Rig. Visitors can check it out at Hot Shot Liquor 1, located at 764 Mink Ave. in Murrells Inlet, from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 14.

An extensive calendar of live music across the Grand Strand is listed on the Myrtle Live website, or check out biker favorites on the Myrtle Beach Bike Rally map.

The Beaver Bar offers lots of opportunities to see local talent, as well as some out-of-town names. “We kind of keep our stuff on the down low,” said owner Leslye Beaver. “We try really, super hard to hire our locals. We try to support our locals.”
