Engines will rumble through Elkin the first weekend of August for the inaugural Rally in the Valley — a three-day gathering designed for riders and anyone who loves the spirit of the open road.
From seasoned bikers to the simply curious, everyone’s welcome to see why this hidden corner of the Yadkin Valley has become a favorite stop for two wheels — just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and an easy ride from Winston-Salem or Charlotte.
Admission is free all weekend long. Cruise the scenic roads, meet fellow riders, and spend time exploring Elkin’s local shops, cozy stays, and welcoming restaurants.
