In 2009, hundreds of thousands of people made their way to Northwest Arkansas to enjoy the best in riding, music and barbeque at the 10th Bikes Blues & BBQ Rally in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
"Over the last ten years we have seen the rally grow from a small poker run to one of the largest motorcycle rallies in the country," said Nelson Driver, event director. In 2009, the rally extended from Fort Smith to Rogers and over to Eureka Springs. From the Randal Tyson Track Center in south Fayetteville to Dickson Street and up to the Northwest Arkansas Mall where Bikes, Blues & Hot Rods Too made it’s debut.
Bikes Blues & BBQ just topped 10,000 fans on Facebook, who are organizing to make this year's event even bigger and better than last year.
Rally with a Purpose
From the very beginning, the founders of Bikes, Blues & BBQ realized that although the three festival components of the rally — bikes, blues and barbeque — would be enough to put on a great event, so much more was possible. They wanted to hold Bikes, Blues & BBQ to a higher standard and give it a greater purpose. With that in mind they designated Bikes, Blues & BBQ as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting local charities with funding raised during the rally.
Bikes - Loaded with chrome and dripping with attitude!
Blues - Last year, national, regional and local bands played for four days providing for a fantastic musical extravaganza. A new partnership with the Arkansas Music Pavilion (AMP) was a huge success with Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, The Marshall Tucker Band and other great shows on Thursday and Friday nights. Joe Giles was the official BBB Music Coordinator and emcee.
BBQ - Every year some of the best BBQ teams from around the country come here to compete in the KCBS Barbeque Cook-Off and the Arkansas State BBQ Championship. Starting Friday morning the air will be filled with the smoky aroma of barbequed chicken, ribs, pork, and beef brisket!
