Bikes, Blues & BBQ
A nonprofit Northwest Arkansas rally benefiting local charities, mixing Ozark riding with live blues and barbecue — now centered on Rogers (historically Fayetteville).
Bikes, Blues & BBQ is a Northwest Arkansas rally with a charitable mission — a nonprofit event whose proceeds go to local causes — wrapped around three things its name promises: Ozark riding, live blues, and barbecue. It is now centered on Rogers after years headquartered in Fayetteville.
The riding is the reason to make the trip. The rally sits in the heart of the Ozarks, with the region's twisty backroads a short ride from the venues, so the days are for the hills and the evenings for the music. At its 2016 peak the event drew an estimated 350,000; recent years have run smaller.
