Bike Week Myrtle Beach Fall Rally 2026 Suck Bang Blow & Beaver Bar with Retro Myrtle Beach Guy!

Retro Myrtle Beach Guy

Retro's night at the fall rally 2026 moves between Suck Bang Blow and the Beaver Bar in Murrells Inlet. The film captures the fall edition's after-dark character — packed bars, live acts and a crowd that turned a late main act into a dance contest — and how the autumn rally differs from spring's.

Key takeaways
  • The fall rally runs on the same Murrells Inlet bar circuit
  • Night footage from Suck Bang Blow and the Beaver Bar
  • Fall rally atmosphere: smaller, later, louder

The Harley rallies

The Retro Myrtle Beach Guy is the rallies' resident film-maker. His beginner's guide, filmed at Suck Bang Blow in Murrells Inlet — 'Bike Week headquarters' — explains how the spring rally works for first-timers, from the Omar Shrine's Ford Bronco raffle to parade day. His 2025 spring film works the same grounds on day one; his fall 2026 night film moves between Suck Bang Blow and the Beaver Bar and catches the autumn rally's character: smaller, later, louder. The Boones add a car-window view of the 2024 spring route — vendor tents, troopers on scene, and the church lot where the Beaver Bar collects parking money it donates back to the church — plus fall 2025 watch footage.

Atlantic Beach Bikefest

Atlantic Beach, the four-block-wide town known as the Black Pearl, was one of the few beaches open to African Americans during segregation; more than 50 of its buildings stand on the National Register of Historic Places. Its Memorial Day weekend Bikefest — Black Bike Week — is filmed here from the street in 2021 and 2026, and the CVB's portraits supply the town's history, its Gullah Geechee festival, and the story of a haven built by and for Black vacationers. One of those history shorts carries only a non-English caption track and stands as watch content.
