About this Event

Welcome to Iowa's Roast & Ride 2025!

Come join us at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Saturday, October 11, 2025 for a day that encapsulates the essence of the Hawkeye State: motorcycles, hog roasts, and Special Guest Sen. Joni Ernst.

The day's festivities will kick off at the Big Barn Harley Davidson with a motorcycle ride honoring those who’ve served our country and will end with a day of activities, Iowa BBQ, and guest speakers at the fairgrounds.

If you would like to participate in our ride, please select the box at checkout, and more information will be provided in the coming weeks.

This event is open to all ages, and general admission tickets will now be free of charge. Tickets to participate in the Ride are $20.

Attendees are recommended to get tickets in advance, and stay tuned for more details!
