Biketoberfest 2026 runs Thursday, October 15 through Sunday, October 18, and the busiest stretch is this weekend. The three places to be are Main Street in Daytona Beach, Destination Daytona in Ormond Beach, and the motorcycle races at Daytona International Speedway.
This is the 34th year of the rally, and it spreads across the whole county, so a little planning goes a long way. Here’s how the weekend breaks down.
Where to go
Main Street, Daytona Beach. The heart of the rally. Bars, bikes and live music line the street, and it’s at its fullest on Friday and Saturday nights.
Destination Daytona, Ormond Beach. The Harley-Davidson complex north of town, with vendors and stages. It’s usually the easiest daytime stop if you want to look at bikes without the Main Street crowd.
Daytona International Speedway. Home of the official Welcome Center and the Race of Champions motorcycle road racing. Only infield admission is sold.
Race days at the Speedway
- Friday, October 16: qualifying, opening ceremonies, the ASRA endurance and team challenge, supersport, and round one of the Barnett National Sidecar Challenge.
- Saturday, October 17: sidecar race two, supersport, stock 1000, Thunderbike, heavyweight, and the Unlimited Superbike Shootout.
- Sunday, October 18: the ASRA 500 Cup, Thunderbike, heavyweight, supersport, superstock 1000 and the GP classes.
