The Fall Ride

THIS RALLY IS ALSO A H.O.G. MEMBER CHECK-IN LOCATION FOR 2026.

📜 Rally History & Vibe

The Tomahawk Fall Ride traces its roots back to 1982 when members of the North Country Riders Motorcycle Club gathered to raise money for charity. The very next year, Harley-Davidson Inc. joined the partnership, solidifying Tomahawk as an official factory town tradition. Now attracting over 40,000 riders annually, this event celebrates peak autumn colors, deep Midwestern motorcycle heritage, and major fundraising efforts for regional charities.
