It was first organized by the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle club but now the Event takes the efforts of everyone in Sturgis (approximate population 6,000) as well as hundreds of suppliers coming to town to help supply products and services to the guests of the Rally.

They still hold some of the original contests and they have added a lot of others over the years such as motocross races, hill climbs for the professional and amateur. They even hold some drag races down Main Street.

There are many food and souvenir vendors that come in for the Rally. These suppliers open booths and shops that offer to sell everything from custom motorcycle parts to tattooing. Some of the more popular things to do are just hang around Main Street and take in all the sights and sounds of the people and motorcycles. There are 10’s of thousands of bikes and the population of Sturgis is estimated to be over 500,000 during the week.
