Celeb Guests include Ian Ziering, Karen Davidson, Rusty Wallace and so many more listed below.
The generosity of motorcyclists will again be on display for the 84th annual Sturgis Rally, and this year participants in Sturgis Buffalo Chip charity rides will have the opportunity to rub elbows with legendary actors, electrifying sports icons, motorcycle industry greats and more. The Legends Ride, Biker Belles and Rusty Wallace Ride raise money to support local and national charities and break the common misconception that the community doesn’t benefit from Sturgis Rally visitors.
