Everything You Need to Know About the Ozark Rides Rally This Weekend

 The wait is over — the Ozark Rides Rally is finally here! From May 7–9, 2026, riders from all over will roll into the Lake of the Ozarks for three days packed with scenic riding, rally stops, live music, and unforgettable biker experiences. Whether you’re coming for the guided rides, the entertainment, or the thrill of taking your motorcycle onto a racetrack, this rally is built around what riders love most: the open road.

Best of all? The Ozark Rides Rally is a FREE event for bikers to attend.

What Is the Ozark Rides Rally?

The Ozark Rides Rally is a lake-wide motorcycle event centered around the incredible riding experience the Ozarks are known for. Guided rides depart from Lake of the Ozarks Harley-Davidson and travel scenic routes across the region, with rally stops and entertainment waiting along the way.


Unlike many rallies that focus heavily on one central location, the Ozark Rides Rally encourages riders to explore the Lake area and experience multiple destinations throughout the weekend.


The event spans:

  • Camden County
  • Miller County
  • Morgan County

…making this a true Lake-wide motorcycle experience.


What to Expect This Weekend

🏁 Laps on the Track at Lebanon I-44 Speedway

One of the biggest highlights of the weekend is the opportunity to actually ride your motorcycle on a racetrack.

On Thursday, May 7, riders can participate in Laps on the Track at Lebanon I-44 Speedway. Guided rides will leave from Lake of the Ozarks Harley-Davidson every hour from 10am–2pm. All bikes and trikes are welcome, and no pre-registration is required.

This is a rare opportunity to experience the speed and atmosphere of a real speedway on your own motorcycle.


🌄 Guided Rides Through the Ozarks

The guided rides are the heart of the Ozark Rides Rally.

Throughout Friday and Saturday, riders can join organized rides departing from Lake of the Ozarks Harley-Davidson to destinations around the Lake area. Routes are designed to showcase the best roads, elevation changes, curves, and scenery the Ozarks have to offer.

Featured ride destinations include:

  • Leatherman
  • Hard Times
  • American Legion
  • Leprechaun’s Corner

Rides are guided by the Christian Motorcycle Association, and riders simply need to arrive early enough to sign a waiver and line up before departure.


Events & Entertainment Happening During the Rally

The riding may be the main attraction, but the rally atmosphere continues after the kickstands go down.

Here are some of the events happening throughout the weekend:


🎶 Live Music at Leprechaun’s Corner

Leprechaun’s Corner will host rally entertainment both Friday and Saturday night.

Friday Night:

Jason Earl Live
