Labor Day weekend will be here before you know it — and so will hundreds of rumbling motorcycles for the Four Corners Motorcycle Rally in Ignacio and Durango, Colorado.
The 2016 rally will take place Sept. 1-5, and rally headquarters will be at the Sky Ute Fairgrounds in Ignacio. But events will be happening all over the region, turning Southwest Colorado into a raging, roaring, raucous, riding good time.
The schedule is jam-packed for the four-day rally with rides, poker runs and bike shows, beer gardens and barbecues, live music and the battle of the bands, and a host of competitions and contests for pin-up girls, zip lining, pole dancing, bull riding, lube wrestling, the best tattoo, the loudest pipes, the meanest burnout and more. Organizers are also giving away a 2016 Indian Scout Motorcycle.
One of the highlights of the festival will start at 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 6, with the Motorcycle and Classic Car Parade down Main Avenue.
Durango is about 25 miles northwest of Ignacio, and it’s a quick ride and a scenic route. If you’re looking for the best place to stay that weekend, look no further than the Durango Quality Inn. Our hotel is less than 2 miles north of downtown Durango on Main Avenue. Book your room today at the Quality Inn Durango.
