What Is Arizona Bike Week & When It Is Happening?

Arizona Bike Week is the Southwest's largest motorcycle rally and music festival. Now entering its 29th year, the event brings together tens of thousands of riders from across the country for five days of everything motorcycle culture has to offer.

The Arizona Bike Week 2026 dates are confirmed: Wednesday, April 8, through Sunday, April 12, 2026.

That's five full days of rally activities, four nights of concerts, and six nights of camping for those staying on-site. Think of it as part rally, part concert series, part massive vendor marketplace, and all set against the backdrop of Arizona's stunning spring weather and scenic desert roads.

The event takes place at WestWorld of Scottsdale, a 385-acre special event facility with space for vendor exhibitions, concert stages, camping grounds, bike shows, and flat-track racing. During bike week in Arizona, the entire venue becomes a self-contained motorcycle city where riders eat, sleep, shop, and party without ever leaving the grounds.

Arizona Bike Week takes place at WestWorld of Scottsdale, located at 16601 N. Pima Road, Scottsdale, Arizona.

• The RockYard: Concert stage hosting nightly performances

• The Pit: Home of the Arena Wars Fighting Series

Tips for First-Time Attendees

Heading to Arizona Bike Week for the first time? Here's what veterans know:

• Arrive Early: Especially on Friday and Saturday. Parking fills up, lines get longer, and the best vendor deals go fast.

• Bring Cash: Many vendors prefer cash, and ATM lines get long. Bring more than you think you'll need.

• Dress in Layers: Days are warm; nights get cool. A light jacket or vest you can throw on after sunset makes a difference.

• Wear Comfortable Boots: You'll be walking miles across the venue. Comfortable footwear matters more than looking sharp.

• Stay Hydrated: Desert air dries you out faster than you realize. Drink water throughout the day, especially if you're drinking alcohol.

• Book Lodging Early: Hotels near WestWorld fill up months in advance. If you're not camping on-site, book your room as soon as your dates are confirmed.

• Plan Your Rides: If you're exploring Arizona roads before or after the rally, map out your routes in advance. Sedona, Jerome, and the Apache Trail are all within riding distance.
