34th Annual Biketoberfest Opens Today in Daytona Beach, Part of the AMA National Gypsy Tour for a Third Straight Year
DAYTONA BEACH — The 34th annual Biketoberfest motorcycle rally opened October 15 in Daytona Beach and Volusia County, Florida, running four days through October 18. For the third consecutive year, the rally is part of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) National Gypsy Tour.
According to the announcement released by the Daytona Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau via PR Newswire, the AMA National Gypsy Tour has more than 100 years of history and includes 14 events in 2026, at which AMA members can collect official Gypsy Tour pins. This year's pins and AMA history materials will be distributed at the Official Biketoberfest Welcome Center, located trackside at Daytona International Speedway's Fall Cycle Scene display area.
The four-day program includes live music, industry vendors, bike shows, motorcycle racing at Daytona International Speedway, and scenic rides along A1A, historic Main Street and the Ormond Beach Scenic Loop (The Loop). AMA Director of Marketing & Communications Joy Burgess said the Gypsy Tour has lasted over a century on the same sense of freedom and camaraderie that brings riders to Daytona Beach each fall; Daytona Beach Area CVB Executive Director Lori Campbell Baker called the rally a fall tradition for the area. Event details are available at Biketoberfest.org. Official sponsors and partners include the AMA and the Florida Motorcycle Safety Program of the Florida Department of Transportation. Founded in 1924, the AMA is among the world's largest motorcycling rights and event-sanctioning organizations.
