54th BLESSING OF THE BIKES (BALDWIN, MI), Sunday, May 17th with KSU @ 7 AM

2026 is the 54nd Anniversary of the Original “Blessing Of The Bikes”. This event started with 8 riders and 4 motorcycles in 1972 who gathered at the St. Ann’s Catholic Church. From those humble beginnings, it has grown into one of the largest events in the area. It is attended by bikers and non-bikers alike from around the country and is open to everyone. Families come to walk around downtown Baldwin and look at the bikes and bikers and enjoy the vendors and great food. This event spreads out from Baldwin Michigan to surrounding areas and provides a lot of fun for everyone.

We'll ride from the dealership (KSU at 7 AM) to Baldwin, MI, about 204 miles, 3 hrs 8 min., plus time for a gas/bathroom stop.

The blessing is at 11 AM.
