 Sturgis Rally

 The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is a motorcycle rally held annually in Sturgis, South Dakota each first full week of August.

The first rally lasted two days and was focused on racing and stunts.  The 2015 Rally promises to be the grand-daddy of them all, with over a million people expected to attend this, the 75th Anniversary addition.  If you are looking to stay in Sturgis proper, we are not the place for you; our properties are located just south of Wind Cave National Park and Custer State Park ( 0ne hour+ from Sturgis).
