— More than 300 regional and international riders are expected in Dominica for the third annual Dominica Bike Festival from July 31 to Aug. 3, featuring four days of bike showcases, competitive racing, stunt events, entertainment and an island tour.

Organized by 767 Bike Life with support from the Government of Dominica through the Ministry of Tourism and the Discover Dominica Authority (DDA), the festival is part of Dominica’s 2026 summer events calendar and is expected to attract riders, supporters and spectators throughout the weekend.

The expected participation represents an increase over 2025, when the festival attracted 233 visiting riders from across the Caribbean and Miami, along with 470 local riders and nearly 5,000 spectators over two days at Canefield Airport. This year, the program has expanded to four days, with more than 300 regional and international riders expected in addition to local participants.

Riders and motorcycle enthusiasts are expected from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Brazil, Curaçao, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the United States.

This year’s festival will also feature internationally recognized stunt riders and content creators, including Brazilian stunt rider Vinicius Moffati, Lil E of St. Maarten and Miami Skeet of the United States. Automotive influencer Nick Lue will also participate.

Collectively, the featured personalities reach millions of followers across digital platforms, extending the festival’s exposure to audiences outside Dominica.

The festival begins on Friday, July 31, with the Weekend Starter along the Dame Eugenia Charles Boulevard, Bayfront, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The free event will feature music, bike and vehicle displays, the introduction of participating countries and biker clubs and a ride-through by visiting delegations. Following the Weekend Starter, riders, visitors and supporters will gather at The Lot Bar and Grill for the official Meet and Greet Blocko.

On Saturday, Aug. 1, from 2 p.m., activities move to Canefield Airport for Speed & Power Day, featuring drag racing, Iron Man challenges, rider competitions, prize challenges and entertainment.

The action continues at Canefield Airport on Sunday, Aug. 2, from 2 p.m., with Skill & Stunt Day, featuring balance competitions, obstacle course challenges, wheelie demonstrations, stunt exhibitions, the Exhaust Sound-Off and other activities showcasing rider skill and control.

The festival concludes on Monday, Aug. 3, with the official Dominica Bike Festival Island Tour – Ride Out, beginning at the Bayfront Cruise Ship Berth at 9 a.m. The island-wide route will take riders through several communities, with official stops at Shorty’s Bar and Forest Paradise in Sylvania; Pavillion in Castle Bruce; Last Flight Bar in Marigot; Ned’s Gas Station in Portsmouth; Family First Bar and Grill in Bioche; Zaps Bar in Coulibistrie; and the Entertainment Law Stop in Mahaut. The ride will conclude at Le Village Beach Club at 6 p.m.

Chief Executive Officer and Director of Tourism of DDA Marva Williams said the increase in visiting riders demonstrates the festival’s growing ability to attract visitors to Dominica during the summer period.

“The growth from 233 visiting riders last year to more than 300 expected this year shows increasing regional and international interest in the Dominica Bike Festival. Importantly, that growth translates into additional visitors staying in our accommodations, dining at our restaurants, using local transportation and exploring the island during their time in Dominica,” Williams said.

Safety will remain a priority throughout the festival. The event is being organized in collaboration with the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force, Dominica Fire and Ambulance Services and the Dominica Air and Sea Ports Authority. Riders, participants and spectators are expected to comply with event safety requirements and follow the directions of event officials, security personnel and emergency responders.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to support the four-day festival and welcome the visiting riders. For the latest program information, ticket details and event updates, follow 767 Bike Life and Dominica Festivals on Facebook and Instagram.
