The 17th Annual Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest returns to the “Best Recreational Lake in the Nation” from Wednesday, Sept. 13 through Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023.
Bikefest features five days of scenic motorcycle rides, live music, vendor villages and special events, including a Harley Davidson motorcycle giveaway. All the action takes place throughout the entire Lake of the Ozarks area.
One of the biggest highlights of the festival is the free Harley Davidson motorcycle given away to the lucky winner of the 2023 Bikefest Passport Run. To participate in the Passport Run and qualify for the free bike giveaway, attendees must visit each of the 21 passport locations to receive a different stamp on their passport.
In addition to the Passport Run, there are six suggested scenic rides that wind through the rolling Ozark terrain that range from 75 miles to 228 miles in length. The Bikefest website features printable maps of each route.
Throughout Bikefest there will be numerous live music performances and nightly concerts at all the participating restaurants, bars and various venues across the entire Lake area. Attendees can enjoy a variety of music featuring local and regional artists as well as big-name acts and celebrated tribute bands.
