There’s No Such Thing as Fashionably Late at the Sturgis Rally Thanks to the Buffalo Chip Official Sturgis Rally Kickoff Party
The party begins with a bang Friday, Aug. 6 at 5 p.m. at the #1 Sturgis Rally destination – the Sturgis Buffalo Chip
Sturgis, SD (June 30, 2021): The Sturgis Buffalo Chip is kicking off the 81st Sturgis Rally and their 40th anniversary celebration the only way they know how – by throwing one huge party. On Friday, Aug. 6, the Buffalo Chip amphitheater will come alive with the roar of motorcycles and the deafening bump of music courtesy of Puddle Of Mudd and Blacklite District. The Sturgis Rally Kickoff Party will feature a parade of magnificent machines and famous faces making their grand entry down Buffalo Chip Main St. starting at 5 p.m, including racers from Ultra4 Off Road Racing and Xtreem Flat Track. For those that can’t make it but want to attend, the entirety of the Kickoff party will be livestreamed on YouTube on Buffalo Chip Live.
“There’s no such thing as being fashionably late when it comes to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally,” said Rod Woodruff, President of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “You come early, and you party all the way through. That’s how you do the rally, and that’s how you do the Chip.”
