Get ready for the ride of the year with the 16th annual St. Maarten Bike Fest this weekend. Hosted by The Caribbean Eagles, this event is a celebration of fraternity, road safety, and the pure thrill of motorcycle culture. From Friday, November 8, to Monday, November 11, bikers and enthusiasts from around the world will gather to cruise, party, and show off their love for the open road on our beautiful island.
With the beloved clubhouse gone, this year marks a new chapter for the Bike Fest. The festivities have now shifted to Soggy Dollar Bar, the heartbeat of the event, where bikers will meet up, register, dance, and party each night.
The Bike Fest kicks off with registration tomorrow at 5:00pm at Soggy. Then at 8:00pm, get ready to dance the night away to the tunes of the Ronny Santana Band at the Welcome Party. Enjoy games, great food, and a lively atmosphere – no riding on this first night, just a chance to mingle and start the festivities.
The action heats up on Saturday evening at 5:00 when the much-anticipated sunset ride will start. After a scenic ride, bikers will head back to Soggy Dollar for a party featuring Control Band. The evening will feature an exciting show at midnight – a special treat in the VIP lounge for the ladies, while the men will meet downstairs.
On Sunday, the ride starts at 11:30am with a picturesque tour of the island. The group will stop at Sunset Beach Bar for lunch. Afterward, it’s back to Soggy Dollar Bar for an evening of Reggae with Percy Rankin.
On the final day, bikers will meet at 11:00am for the last ride around the island, with a stop at Hope Estate for some fun games on the motor, followed by lunch. Once the ride is done, everyone will meet back at Soggy for a hearty meal and the closing ceremony.
If you’ve got a motorcycle and safety gear, you’re welcome to join the ride. You don’t need to own a Harley-Davidson to join – all bikes are welcome as long as you can safely keep up with the group! To participate in the rides, you must purchase a full four-day package or day pass. The four-day pass includes four dinners, two lunches, 10 drink tokens and three exclusive Bike Fest T-shirts – one for each day! Alternatively, you can purchase a single-day pass if you just want to join for one or two days. Or, if you prefer, pick up a Bike Fest T-shirt and just ride along for the fun! Registration is easy – just sign up at Soggy Dollar Bar on Friday, starting at 5:00pm.
No bike? No problem! While the event is primarily for motor riders, the parties and social events at Soggy Dollar are open to everyone.
Food is a big part of the annual Bike Fest. Bikers can look forward to delicious buffet-style meals every night, with different international cuisines on offer, including a special Indonesian night. There’s always something for everyone, including vegetarian options – but that’s not all! Soggy will offer happy hour prices throughout the weekend, and Red Diamond offers 50% off drinks for the duration of the event.
The Caribbean Eagles are excited to host bikers for another incredible weekend of brotherhood, biking, and celebration. The people of St. Maarten are encouraged to be aware of more motorcycles on the road from Friday to Monday and to show the world that we truly are The Friendly Island.
