Get your engines revved and your Halloween spirit soaring—Galveston Island is once again gearing up to host one of the most thrilling events of the year! The Lone Star Rally returns for its 25th anniversary from October 31 to November 3, 2024, transforming this charming coastal city into a biker's paradise with a side of spooky.

A Rally Like No Other

The Lone Star Rally, America's largest motorcycle rally, is more than just a biker's dream—it's a family-friendly, island-wide celebration. Imagine the sights: chrome gleaming under the autumn sun, custom paint jobs popping with electric colors, and the roar of engines harmonizing with the cool Gulf breeze. Whether you’re a motorcycle aficionado or just looking for a fun weekend escape, this event has something for everyone.

Every year, an astounding 400,000 people from all over the globe roll into Galveston for the Rally. You’ll find the streets lined with everything from vintage Harley-Davidsons to cutting-edge three- and four-wheeled marvels. It’s a visual spectacle that blends the old-school cool of classic motorcycles with the futuristic innovation of new rides.

Rockin' the Island

This year’s entertainment is turning it up a notch. Legendary rock bands like Buckcherry and Saliva are set to unleash their high-octane hits, while country music lovers will be treated to performances by Whey Jennings and Rodney Atkins. With concerts happening across multiple stages, this is one musical lineup that promises to keep your heart pounding just as fast as the bikes zooming down The Strand.

Bikes, Beaches, and Beyond

Sure, motorcycles take center stage, but the Lone Star Rally is also about celebrating the unique culture of Galveston. From Thursday to Sunday, the island will be buzzing with activity. Tattoo contests, hot rod shows featuring cars built before 1971, and a treasure trove of vendors offer an eclectic shopping experience. You can snag everything from custom motorcycle parts to one-of-a-kind jewelry and artwork, making it a paradise for both gearheads and fashionistas.

And then there’s the famous Miss Lone Star Rally contest, adding a dash of glamour and fun to the proceedings. If you’re into people-watching, this is the place to be. With hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists cruising through the historic streets of Galveston, you’ll see some of the most creative, colorful, and customized bikes imaginable.

But don’t forget, Galveston is a destination in its own right. The island boasts 32 miles of beautiful beach, perfect for a stroll or an afternoon sun-soaking. Or, take a break from the rally to explore Galveston’s rich history, with landmarks dating back to the 1800s offering a glimpse into Texas’ storied past.

Trick-Or-Treat, Biker Style

This year’s Rally kicks off on Halloween, adding a spooky twist to the festivities. Expect to see bikers dressed as everything from superheroes to goblins, creating a one-of-a-kind fusion of motorcycle culture and Halloween magic. The island will be glowing—not just from the candy corn—but from the illuminating nightly parades of decked-out, light-up bikes roaring through The Strand. It’s the perfect blend of eerie and exhilarating!

Navigating the Fun

Don’t let the sheer size of the Rally overwhelm you. The city of Galveston has made it easier than ever to get around, with trolley rides for just $1 (free for kids) running every 30 minutes to ferry attendees between the Seawall and The Strand. And with hundreds of food vendors stationed throughout the event, you won’t go hungry. Whether you're craving BBQ, funnel cakes, or international street food, there's something to tantalize every taste bud.
