LET FREEDOM RING: STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY ONE OF LARGEST IN YEARS, MAYBE EVER
August 9, 2021
Bikers, motorcycle enthusiasts, tourists and onlookers have descended on South Dakota’s Black Hills for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Law enforcement officials say the first few days of this year’s rally has been among the busiest they’ve seen.
Some 700,000 people are predicted to celebrate the 81st iteration of the event, and their enthusiasm for motorcycles at the 10-day event that kicked off on Friday in Sturgis, the western South Dakota city.
The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has a solid track record when it comes to large turnouts. Average rally attendance each year has totaled about 485,000 rallygoers for the past two decades. Despite the social limitations of the coronavirus pandemic, last year’s rally brought in roughly 460,000 attendees.
