After a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the motorcycle rally Bikes, Blues & BBQ is gearing up for its return to northwest Arkansas.
The four-day rally has been based in Fayetteville since its debut in 2000 but is making the move north to Rogers this year, a move organizers say is a long-term relocation. The annual event is scheduled to start Oct. 5.
The move to Rogers promises opportunities for a more expansive rally, Sisemore believes. Rogers is more spacious than Fayetteville, which can become cramped when thousands of motorcycle aficionados roll into town.
Sisemore said the hub of the rally will be downtown Rogers, where the musical acts will perform, while other hubs hold events in surrounding areas. The roster should be finalized by May.
"We cater to the motorcycle enthusiast," he said. "The people who get to dress up in their leather and go play motorcycle badass for a day or two a year."
