Fan Fest

Calling all bearded road warriors and aficionados of facial follicles! Get ready to rev up your engines and showcase your majestic man manes at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip Beard Contest. Grab your friends and head to the Big Engine Bar in the heart of the free-access Buffalo Chip CrossRoads for this spectacle of the rally’s biggest and best beards during Buffalo Chip Fan Fest. In addition to bragging rights and the adoration of fans, entering this contest gives you a shot at prizes that will make your beard stand on end!

If you’d rather drink a six-pack than have six pack abs, this is the contest for you. While it takes years—or even decades– of dedication to shape the perfect beer belly, it only takes a few moments to win the Chip’s Beer Belly Contest. Show off your guts for glory during Buffalo Chip Fan Fest and you could win big!

Does your hair make you go fast, steal your friend’s girl and not apologize because, welp, mullets are just that way? Do you like to live dangerously, laugh in the face of today’s hairstyle trends and crank up the metal and bang your head into oblivion? If so, then you may be a prime candidate to take home the grand championship at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip’s “Mullet Madness” Mullet Competition! Pay homage to one of the most misunderstood and unapologetically badass haircuts of all time and you could be walking away with huge prizes!

Fellas, this is your time to shine! Calling all hunks, studs, beefcakes and dad bods for the Hot Hunks Contest hosted by Hot 93.1! Demonstrate the right combination of manliness, moves and charisma, and you could be the next Buffalo Chip Hot Hunk!

No one can deny that it’s fun to get pie-eyed at The Best Party Anywhere®, but it’s even more fun when you’re doing it for your chance to win free 2026 Rally Passes!
