The rumble of engines, the pulse of live music and the steady flow of thousands of visitors will take over downtown Leesburg this weekend as Leesburg Bikefest returns April 24–26.
Now one of the largest motorcycle rallies in the Southeast, the three-day event draws riders and spectators from across the country, transforming the city’s historic downtown into a pedestrian-friendly, motorcycles-only zone lined with vendors, food, entertainment and nonstop activity.
Festivities begin Friday at noon with the official opening ceremony, followed by a full schedule of live music across multiple stages. Rock icon Lita Ford is set to headline Friday night, kicking off a weekend lineup that continues Saturday with Everclear and wraps Sunday afternoon with Sister Hazel.

Throughout the weekend, attendees can expect custom bike shows, high-energy stunt performances and interactive attractions, along with more than 200 vendors offering everything from gear and accessories to food and merchandise. Organized rides, contests and crowd-favorite biker games add to the experience, giving visitors plenty to explore between sets.
