Hundreds of thousands of motorcycles nationwide are beginning to rev their engines for their yearly pilgrimage to Galveston Island for the four-day Lone Star Rally, November 2- 5, 2023!
Amidst the sea of growling engines are over 20 rock and country bands on two big outdoor stages, savory food trucks, centrally located bars and snack stands, motorcycle accessory vendors, clothing and jewelry sellers, along with a series of special events appealing to every aspect of the motorcycle enthusiast’s taste for all things two-wheeled, from fashion to function.
Whether you’re a rider or just an admirer of magnificent motorcycles, Lone Star Rally brings an all-encompassing experience that embraces a uniquely American culture based on a primal love for freedom, adventure, and the open road.
For families and individuals of all walks of life, the Lone Star Rally is an inclusive, free-admission extravaganza that offers a deep look into everything intriguing about motorcycles, three and four-wheeled road machines and motorcycle life. While primarily focused on motorcycles, Lone Star Rally also recognizes the Texas appetite for all things cool and presents a classic pre-1970 car show.
Successfully in its 23rd year, Lone Star Rally is always innovating, bringing new events, vendors, musical entertainment and, competitions to go with many of the crowd favorites. Spread over four days and a large festival area that stretches several square miles from the famous Galveston Seawall to The Strand between 25th and 18th Street, Lone Star Rally includes two main areas for food, drink, vendors, special events and concerts: the Progressive Beach Central Stage area, located along the Seawall at 21st Street and the downtown Miller Lite Saengerfest Stage area (23rd and Strand). This section includes the beautiful close-by Harborside Pier 21 area all the way to Mechanic Street from 18th to 25th Street.
This year’s Lone Star Rally entertainment headliners include returning Texas country chart-topper, Kevin Fowler on Saturday night at the Beach Central Stage, as well as Pat Green (Thursday, Beach Central) along with regional and local favorites such as Zach Tate, Lulu, and The Black Sheep, Tim Montana, Diamond Rio, Whey Jennings, Kid Rock tribute - Cowboy, and many more to be announced in the coming days.
Returning as Masters of ceremonies for each stage are motorcycle land-speed record holder Jay Allen (Beach Central Stage) and spokesperson/model/dancer Lisa Ligon (Saengerfest main stage at 21st and Strand), keeping Lone Star Rally attendees informed about all the events and activities taking place nearby.
