Ocean Blvd • Myrtle Beach, SC
May 21–25, 2026
Myrtle Beach is about to go all the way up for one of the craziest Bike Week lineups of the year. For five straight days, the city turns into a nonstop takeover packed with bikes, beach energy, lit crowds, baddies, nightlife, day functions, mansion vibes, and a Memorial Day finale built to shut the whole weekend down the right way. From Ocean Blvd to the day parties and late-night madness, every event brings a different vibe, but the energy stays high the entire time.
Thursday, May 21 — All Gas No Brakes
9PM–2AM
The weekend starts with pressure. All Gas No Brakes is the official kickoff, setting the tone from the very first night. Expect bikes lined up, engines growling, packed sections, beautiful women, fly fits, drinks moving, and a full-speed party atmosphere where nobody is easing into anything. This is the opener for the people coming to make noise the whole weekend.
Friday, May 22 — Bikes, Bottles & Baddies: After Dark
9:30PM–2:30AM
Friday night is for the sexy side of Bike Week. Bikes, Bottles & Baddies is that after-dark function where the crowd gets dressed up, the bottles come out, the cameras flash, and the whole room feels expensive. Expect a mix of nightlife, luxury energy, good music, and a crowd full of people ready to party hard and look good doing it.
Saturday, May 23 — Oil Spill Darty: Day Function
3PM–7PM
Saturday daytime is where the outside crowd turns all the way up. Oil Spill Darty is built for fun in the sun, wild energy, drinks in hand, beach-party vibes, dancing, music blasting, and that real daytime Bike Week madness everybody talks about after the weekend is over. This is the day function for the people who want action, motion, and a whole lot of outside energy before the nighttime events even begin.
Sunday, May 24 — Redline Mansion Invasion: Mansion Mayhem
9PM–12AM
Sunday night gets elevated with Redline Mansion Invasion. This one is all about luxury party energy with fast-lane vibes, exotic visuals, late-night motion, and that rich, flashy atmosphere that feels bigger than a normal function. Expect a high-energy crowd, a crazy setup, and a mansion-style experience made for people who want more than just a regular party.
Sunday, May 24 — Sharks vs Baddies Mayhem: Splash Zone
3PM–7PM
Earlier that day, the heat comes outside with Sharks vs Baddies Mayhem. This is a wild splash-zone style function with fun, flirt energy, water vibes, beachwear, music, drinks, and a turnt-up crowd ready to have a good time. It’s playful, chaotic, and made for those unforgettable Bike Week daytime moments.
Sunday, May 24 — NC vs SC Showdown: State Clash
10PM–2AM
Sunday night keeps going with a real clash of energy. NC vs SC Showdown brings state pride, competitive vibes, big crowd energy, and nonstop music as both sides come out to represent. This is the type of party where everybody is outside, everybody is repping, and the building feels electric from start to finish.
Monday, May 25 — Memorial Day Napkin Warz Finale: Grand Finale
9PM–2AM
Everything leads up to the closing event. Napkin Warz Finale is the official Memorial Day grand finale, and it’s built to end the weekend with a bang. Expect a packed crowd, huge singalong moments, flying napkins, crazy energy, unforgettable visuals, and one last night for everybody to empty the tank before the takeover ends. This is the final statement event of the whole weekend.
Why this lineup is hard:
You’re getting a full experience, not just one party. Kickoff nightlife, bottle-service energy, wild day functions, mansion vibes, splash-zone fun, state-versus-state energy, and a Memorial Day finale all wrapped into one Bike Week takeover. Every day has its own theme, its own mood, and its own reason to pull up.
