About Hot Harley Nights™Few Things Bring People Together Like A Good CauseOver the past twenty-two years, Hot Harley Nights™ has become a tradition in Sioux Falls that's grown to bring thousands of generous people together each year in support of children with life-threatening medical conditions. We believe raising awareness and funding for Make-A-Wish® South Dakota is definitely a cause worth rallying around. Last year, the 22nd Annual Hot Harley Nights™ was held in July in Sioux Falls and raised over $165,000, plus thousands of dollars of in-kind donations. The event featured a huge motorcycle parade spanning over 6.7 miles in Sioux Falls, a family fun night, casino run, live music, motorcycle raffle, bike show, silent auction, a variety of great food and an outdoor party at Falls Park West.Our first year saw 250 participants and a handful of enthusiastic volunteers. Now we expect over 40,000 enthusiasts from across the United States and Canada.We have hundreds of volunteers and organizations who sign up to help a year in advance. Many lifelong friendships have been made at Hot Harley Nights™ and many, many wishes have been granted. In total, over $2.9 million has been raised.Our goal is to help as many children and families as possible receive a special “wish” through Make-A-Wish® South Dakota. We thank you for joining us on this amazing journey of care, compassion and camaraderie. An event like this could not happen without people like you. As long as there are kids who need wishes, we will all have a reason to ride.The 23rd Annual Hot Harley Nights™ is July12-15, 2018 and is going to be awesome. We'll see you there!
