Americade

Americade is the touring rider's rally. Running since 1983 out of Lake George in the Adirondacks, it leans toward demo rides, organized guided tours, and an expo rather than the bar-crawl reputation of the bigger events — with a Lake George block party as its social center.

The setting is the point: the Adirondack roads around Lake George are the reason a touring crowd gathers here, and the rally's guided routes are built to show them off. Organizers have expected as many as 50,000 in recent years.

Note the dates carefully — the 2026 edition ran in late May, and the 2027 dates were not yet announced as of this writing, so check the official site before planning a trip around it.
