ⓘ Can any motorcycle ride in the Thunder through the Valley Motorcycle Parade?

The Steel Horse Rally Thunder Through the Valley Motorcycle Parade is a moving tradition that has grown larger each year. The parade is open to all kinds of motorcycles and is free to all participants. It is held on the Saturday afternoon of the Steel Horse Rally. (Charitable donations to the Steel Horse Rally Inc. charity are appreciated.) Larger 3-wheeled vehicles such as trikes or  Slingshots may ride in the parade, however, for safety reasons, we ask that these vehicles ride behind all of the two-wheeled motorcycles. For the official route, staging area and staging time, please click here.

The parade goes underneath a huge American flag displayed by a Fort Smith Fire Department Ladder Truck. During the parade, some streets and driveways will be blocked off, so please follow the instructions of law enforcement officers who will be directing traffic.

The Steel Horse Rally Thunder through the Valley Motorcycle Parade is dedicated to "All Who Serve" and honoring those who protect our country and our community. No political campaigning or advertisements are allowed in the parade.
