The first Rally, called the Black Hills Motor Classic, was held August 12-14, 1938. The first weekend in August was selected because it did not interfere with other established events held in surrounding communities such as Belle Fourche (rodeo) and Deadwood (Days of 76). Regional events were extremely important for social and economic reasons in the post depression Mid-west and as a good neighbor; Sturgis did not want to compete for those bodies and dollars.
As the event grew the "official" dates grew. The Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally™ is the first full week of August, Monday through Sunday, when preceded by a full weekend. This means that if 1 August falls on a Sunday the event would begin on the 9th with a full weekend preceding it. If 1 August would to fall on a Friday then the events official dates would be 4th through the 10th, the Monday through Sunday following the first full weekend in August.
The Testicle Festival (or Testy Festy) is held at Rock Creek Lodge just outside of Clinton, Montana. Rock Creek Lodge throws the world’s largest testicle festival every fall attracting more than 15,000 fans annually to its five day event. Tossing around its motto, “I had a ball at the Testicle Festival,” the festival feeds over 2 ½ tons of bull balls to its many hungry revelers. Not only can you get a taste of these yummy delicious deep-fried bull’s testicles, but while you’re there, you’ll no doubt want to participate in the best bike contest, the 4 wet t-shirt or hairy chest competitions, big ball and undi 500.
Five days of nonstop fun...
Drinking, Dancing, Live Music, DJs, Girls, Guys, Contests, Performances, Bikers, Campers, Food, Vendors and a whole lot more!
“No kids, hassles or brought-in beverages.” All attendees must be 21 years of age - a fun time, but not a family affair!.
While this party is said to be relatively tame, be aware that you can plan to get an eyeful of half-dressed and naked party-goers.
If you’ve found you've partaken a bit too much of the festival’s Bull Snort Brew, the lodge provides a year-round campground to lay your weary head.

Come to Michigan this weekend. Help us celebrate the 10th

but the party starts Friday night and goes through Sunday morning.
Free camping all weekend plus bunk space in the clubhouse on a
space-available basis. We'll be smoking about 140 lbs of pork butt and
60 lbs of brisket starting late Friday night. Drink beer, smoke meat,
and get a great seat for the peak of the annual Perseid Meteor shower

The MI-2 Annual Party will always be 2 weeks after Wetzelland.
Wetzelland is always the last FULL weekend in July. The only time we make
exceptions to this date is if the USMVMC NPM falls within one weekend of
this date (before, during, or after). Plan accordingly and we hope to see
you in Michigan soon!
