Laconia Bike Week 2026 ran Saturday, June 13 through Sunday, June 21. That is the 103rd Laconia Motorcycle Week, the New Hampshire Lakes Region rally people also search as “laconia motorcycle week.” Nine days, Weirs Beach and the towns around the lake, not one fenced venue.
If you landed here looking for next year’s window, the 2026 dates are the ones above. 2027 dates post later on the Motorcycle Week calendar. Do not mix this week with Americade in Lake George.
Laconia Bike Week 2026 dates
June 13 to June 21, 2026. Saturday to Sunday. Local listings and Laconia Harley-Davidson in Meredith used the same span. Dealer and shuttle hours in Meredith typically ran 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. most days, shorter on the closing Sunday.
Organizers billed it as the oldest motorcycle rally still running. Attendance talk before the week pointed at hundreds of thousands of visitors over the full stretch, not a single-day gate. There is no one ticket that is “the rally.” Bars, dealers, hill climbs, and Weirs Beach each run their own program.
Where riders actually go
Weirs Beach is the postcard: boardwalk, Lakeside Avenue, bikes parked in rows. Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford hosts a hill climb. A second, older-style climb has been run at Weirs Beach. Meredith is the Laconia Harley-Davidson hub: vendor map, demo traffic, shuttle from overflow parking. Gilford, Laconia, and the lake loop fill in the rest.
Bring rain gear. June in New Hampshire is not Daytona in March. Helmet law in New Hampshire is not a full-age mandate the way it is in some neighboring states. If you ride into Massachusetts or New York on a day trip, their rules apply the minute you cross the line.
Laconia vs Americade
Americade is Lake George, New York, late May. Laconia Motorcycle Week is mid-June in New Hampshire. Same Northeast summer, different state, different week, different crowd. If a listing says “bike week” and the map is Canada Street, you are in the wrong article.
Motohubs does not sell rally wristbands. If you are shopping a touring or cruiser bike after the week, compare listings at home, then inspect in daylight, not at 11 p.m. on Weirs Boulevard.
