Full Throttle National Rally picking up where Sturgis left off
The 2026 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally may be over, but Full Throttle Saloon is offering motorcycle enthusiasts a second round.
Dubbed the world’s largest biker bar, Full Throttle Saloon is set to host another motorcycle rally less than a month after the Sturgis rally ended Aug. 16.
The second event, Full Throttle Branson Bike Week, will be held Sept. 9-12 in Branson, Missouri. The motivation behind a second rally stems from the immense popularity and turnout of this year’s Sturgis event.
“We’re in an off-year this year, meaning [not celebrating] anniversary years, like the 85th, the 90th, et cetera. This is the 86th year, and we’re still sold out of cabins and RVs,” Full Throttle Saloon Production Manager Mark Butler told Keloland.com.
Full Throttle is partnering with the city of Branson and Harley-Davidson to host a motorcycle rally for Harley Owners Group chapters nationwide. Full Throttle says it recently opened a distillery and restaurant in Branson and felt it’s the perfect place to pick up where the Sturgis Rally left off.
“They’ll be coming from all over the country to Branson, Missouri, to celebrate the National H.O.G. Rally. But it’s open to the public, whether you ride or not. There’ll be parades, there will be something for the whole family, there will be live entertainment,” business partner Jesse James Dupree told Keloland.com.
Additional information and the rally’s full schedule are on its website.
