The
huge BBBQ motorcycle rally is coming to beautiful Fayetteville, Arkansas, again—and
soon. In fact, it is one week earlier than usual this year. Be sure your calendar
is marked for September 18-21. BBBQ has become one of the premier rallies in
the country. Hundreds of thousands of folks participate and watch whether they
have a bike or not.
Music
starts at 4 p.m., Wednesday, September 18th and doesn’t stop until
midnight Saturday. Even then the festivities continue with the Miss BBB
contest.
If
you want an earlier start for great music, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackberry Smoke
will be performing at a pre-rally on Thursday, September 12th at the
AMP (Arkansas Music Pavilion) located at Washington County Fairgrounds.
The
Fairgrounds is the official campground for the BBBQ rally. There you will find
Beer Gardens, free music, and the barbecue contest on Friday. Free shuttle
service is offered to all the Dickson Street action.
There
are special events for women such as “trying on” a Harley or Yamaha. Other
activities you won’t want to miss include a car show featuring customs, street
rods, and vintage vehicles. Two Poker Runs will be sponsored by Fayetteville
Fire Fighters. The Stokes Air Bike Show will showcase more types of bikes than
most of us can imagine.
And
the Parade of Power is usually incredible (you might want to bring some ear
protection).
Since
the first BBQ rally was held in 2000, more than $600,000 has been raised and
donated to local charities. This year is no different. All proceeds will be
donated to organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, NWA Free Health
Clinic, Fayetteville Boys and Girls Club, Horses for Healing and many more.
It’s
fair to say there is something for everyone. Music, food, sights to see, and
beautiful weather join together to make the rally memorable. BBBQ has always
prided itself on being family friendly so bring the kids and enjoy your time
together.
