Myrtle Beach Bike Week's Spring Rally for 2026 is May 8-17, 2026, and is held in Horry County with extensive events in the Murrells Inlet area. Approximately 300,000 people visit the Grand Strand each year during Bike Week which is why it is extremely important to focus on safety on the roadways and pay attention to all traffic conditions to prevent collisions. Traffic loops are usually put in place by law enforcement as a safety measure to help the flow of traffic during bike weeks. Unfortunately, major injuries requiring surgery, fractures, permanent spine damage and even resulting in death can occur from motorcycle collisions. Wright Injury Law LLC is here to help those who have been injured after a motorcycle accident.
An annual Bike Event is also usually held over Memorial Day Weekend in the Atlantic Beach area near Myrtle Beach.
