The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Moves Forward with City and Rally Venues Unified After Public Confusion and Concern
City of Sturgis voted to partake in the 2020 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally along with area venues and businesses that planned to move forward with the event regardless of vote.
STURGIS, S.D., June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will go on with the City of Sturgis joining a group of Black Hills-area venues that had already committed to hosting the event. Up to this point, these businesses were unsure if they would be moving forward with or without the City.
"I'm very pleased with the city council's decision to join the 2020 rally this year," said Randy Peterson of Sturgis.com, the original site dedicated to promoting the Sturgis Rally. "A sampling of more than 50 local businesses and campgrounds had already stated they would be open for business, but with the City's involvement, necessary municipal services will be provided within city limits."
The City's involvement in the rally will allow the sale of vendor permits within the City and Main Street will be closed off to motorcycle-only traffic.
The City's decision only affects what happens within City limits, not the rest of the Black Hills region. To date, neither the State of South Dakota nor any Black Hills' government has suspended rally events.
More than 50 regional businesses have expressed their conviction to be open and hosting the 80th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in 2020, with more businesses joining the list every day.

The 80th Anniversary of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will be held Aug. 7-16, 2020.
