The 29th Annual Arizona Bike Week—which is among the Southwest’s biggest bike rallies—gets underway at WestWorld of Scottsdale on Wed., April 8, running through April 12. The five-day event includes concerts, bike shows, vendor showcases, charity rides, and high-energy experiences. Gates open at 9 a.m. daily, with activities starting early and continuing throughout the night.

Here’s what you need to know.

 

What to Expect

Arizona Bike Week is for both riders and non-riders, and includes a variety of family-friendly attractions—as well as 21-plus experiences. For 2026, the five-day festival includes six bike shows, six builder showcases, five stunt shows, four concerts, 25 local bands, six charity rides, three bike giveaways/raffles, a massive vendor village, a used bike corral, flat track racing/slide school, factory demo rides, Arena Wars fighting, a swap meet, and more.

 

The Concerts

There will be nightly concerts in The Rockyard.

The event also shines a spotlight on local talent, with 25 regional bands performing across multiple stages throughout the five-day rally.

 

During the Day

Daytime programming delivers plenty of action as well, with gravity-defying stunt shows and bike shows scheduled throughout the week, spotlighting everything from early builds and lowriders to choppers and modern machines.

The Hellracer Dome is again be a major part of the action, with racing, training classes, and demonstrations taking place inside throughout the event. Flat track racing returns, with tight turns and bike-on-bike action taking place around a short dirt track. Professional racer Johnny Lewis will lead Slide School sessions focused on building control and confidence on two wheels, and electric unicycle racing will also take place inside the Dome, adding a fresh and unconventional element to the Hellracer lineup.

Outside the Hellracer Dome, a massive vendor showcase offers a chance to shop gear, apparel, and a wide range of bike-related products and services. Additionally, the Used Bike Corral gives attendees a chance to buy, sell, or upgrade their rides.

 

New For 2026: Arena Wars Fighting Series

A new Arizona Bike Week element debuts on Saturday—the Bikes & Fights Arena Wars Fighting Series. The event kicks off at 6 p.m., with gates opening at 4 p.m. Fighters from across the combat sports circuit face off inside The Pit for an evening of high-intensity action.

 

“This week always has a different kind of energy,” says Arizona Bike Week co-producer Lisa Cyr. “Everything people have been waiting for finally comes to life. The bikes roll in, the music kicks off, and the whole place takes on a life of its own.”
