Arizona Bike Week is Back 2026

Mar 5, 2026

Over 100,000 riders show up to Scottsdale every April for Arizona Bike Week, and the 29th annual rally is no exception. This year's event runs April 8th through April 12th at WestWorld of Scottsdale, covering five days of live concerts, custom bike shows, flat track racing, stunt performances, factory demo rides, and charity rides out into the Arizona desert. Below, we're covering everything you need to know about the biggest Arizona motorcycle rally, from ticket options and the 2026 concert lineup to camping at WestWorld and how to rent a bike in Scottsdale.

Where is Arizona Bike Week held?

WestWorld of Scottsdale has been the home of Arizona Bike Week for 29 years, and at this point the venue and Scottsdale's Bike Week reputation are pretty much inseparable.

Is Arizona Bike Week Free?

Entry to the PowerYard is free every day until 5 PM, covering vendors, bike shows, factory demo rides, stunt performances, and all the daytime entertainment at WestWorld. The RockYard concerts are ticketed separately, and if you're planning to stay for the shows, you'll need a Rally Pass or Single-Day Pass for that evening.

How Much Are Arizona Bike Week 2026 Tickets?

There are three main ways to get into Arizona Bike Week depending on how you want to spend your time there. Here's a full breakdown:

PowerYard Passes

If concerts aren't your focus and you want access to the PowerYard after 5 PM without a concert ticket, PowerYard Passes cover that. Cold drinks, live music, late-night bites, and the full atmosphere without the RockYard price tag.

• PowerYard Multi-Day Pass (all days, no RockYard access): $48 ($32 + $16 fees & taxes)
• PowerYard Single Day Pass (one-time use, no RockYard access): $24+

Additional Tickets

Not everything at Arizona Bike Week fits neatly into a pass category, and some of the best parts of the week are right here:

• Arena Wars Fighting Series (Saturday, April 11th): MMA and combat sports matchups in The Pit with gates opening at 4:30 PM and fights starting at 6:00 PM. Every ticket includes all-day PowerYard access on Saturday. Premium Seating starts at $84+, and GA Seating is $73 ($49 + $24 fees & taxes).
• Used Bike Corral: If you have a bike ready for a new owner, the Used Bike Corral gives you a display space for all five days of the rally. Your $220 registration ($200 + $20 fees & taxes) includes a Rally Pass covering all four nightly concerts.
• Charity Rides: Several group rides run throughout the week, each tied to a different cause and each one giving you a reason to get out on the road between events. Wednesday Ride for a Reason is $25, Thursday T-Bar Rider is $34+, and the Sunday Heroes Charity Rider is $31+.

Make sure to grab your tickets on the official Arizona Bike Week website before they sell out!

Is Camping Available at Arizona Bike Week 2026?

Yes! There’s camping available for ABW 2026, and if you want to get the most out of the full week, camping on-site at WestWorld is the way to do it.

Tent Camping

Tent camping is available on-site with access to restroom and shower facilities. Spaces are assigned in advance and go fast, so reserving early puts you in a much better position.

• Tent Camping: $422 ($350 + $72 fees & taxes)

RV Camping

RV sites at WestWorld come in a range of sizes and amp service options, with pricing starting at $585 for dry camping and going up from there based on your rig size and placement.

Charity Rides at Arizona Bike Week 2026

Arizona Bike Week runs five organized charity rides throughout the week, each one tied to a different cause and each one getting you out of WestWorld and onto actual Arizona roads. Your registration covers rally admission for that day and a meal, and all riders need a valid license and proof of insurance at check-in. Most of these sell out before the rally starts, so registering early puts you in a better spot.

Rowdy Ride | Wednesday, April 8th

Brought to you by Stay Rowdy and Southwest Club Style, this one takes you through Fountain Hills where you can catch the World Famous Fountain before heading back to WestWorld for a full day of events and Black Stone Cherry that night. Registration opens at 9 AM at Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale, and proceeds benefit the FDR Foundation.

• Includes: Lunch and Wednesday admission to Arizona Bike Week

T-Bar Trail Ride | Thursday, April 9th

The T-Bar has been running for 18 years at Arizona Bike Week and it's still one of the first rides to sell out every year. Registration opens at WestWorld at 9 AM, breakfast is included to start the day, and your entry covers everything through Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening that night. Proceeds go to breast cancer charities.

• Includes: Breakfast and full Thursday admission to Arizona Bike Week

AZ Bike Week Charities Ride | Friday, April 10th

This one raises money for Child Abuse Awareness Month, with funds going directly toward Christmas gifts for kids in local shelters and foster programs each year.

Best Rides & Day Trips to Take During Arizona Bike Week

The charity rides give you a structured reason to get out on the road, but Scottsdale sits at the edge of some of the best riding in Arizona and you don't need a group to take advantage of it. Here are a few routes to plan around:

Carefree Highway

About 25 miles northwest of WestWorld, the road opens up quickly once you clear the valley with wide lanes and long sight lines. The town of Carefree at the end of the route has good food options before you turn back, and the whole ride fits comfortably into a morning window before the PowerYard opens.

Tortilla Flat & Apache Trail

Out of Mesa on AZ-88, the road follows the Superstition Mountains toward Tortilla Flat and earns its reputation fast, tightening up through canyon terrain with real elevation change and turns that keep you focused. Tortilla Flat has been a rider stop for decades, with a restaurant and general store that have been there long enough to feel like part of the road. It's a longer route, so time it around the RockYard schedule if you're catching a concert that night.

• South Mountain Park & Dobbins Lookout: One of the better elevated viewpoints over the entire Phoenix valley, reached by a winding road with pulloffs on the way up. The whole trip fits into an early morning without cutting into your afternoon at WestWorld.
• Prescott & Yarnell Hill: Around 100 miles from Scottsdale heading northwest through Wickenburg, the climb up Yarnell Hill is the highlight, with long curves and a noticeable temperature drop as the elevation rises. Prescott's downtown has enough going on to make it a worthwhile meal stop before the ride back.

Prescott is just one of the longer day rides on the list. We put together a full guide to the best motorcycle rides in Arizona to help you plan the rest of your week around the roads.
