RAR Annual St. Paddy's Day Ride:
Join your fellow Rockford Area Riders for one of the first rides of the 2026 season! We'll kick things off in true Irish style with breakfast, good company, and a festive group ride to the Rockford St. Patrick's Day Parade — the perfect way to celebrate community, adventure, open roads, and the start of another epic riding year.
Schedule & Route:
8:00 AM – 11:00 AM: Meet at Neighbors Bar & Grill (7745 Forest Hills Rd, Loves Park, IL 61111) for the Kishwaukee Valley A.B.A.T.E. Chapter St. Patrick's Day Breakfast. Fuel up with great food and connect with riders.
11:00 AM: KSU from Neighbors! We'll roll out together.
Next Stop: Head to Murphy's Pub and Grill (510 S Perryville Rd, Rockford, IL 61108) — a local business proudly sponsoring Rockford motorcycle riders in the parade. Grab a quick drink, relax, and show your support.
Around 1:00–2:00 PM: Depart Murphy's and arrive at the parade staging area — parking lot at 4th Ave and 7th Street — by 2:00 PM for lineup.
3:00 PM: Participate in the Rockford St. Patrick's Day Parade (50th anniversary celebration!). We'll ride as a group, representing Rockford Area Riders with pride.
Get in the Spirit!
Wear your green and plaid, and deck out yourself and your bike as much as you like — flags, shamrocks, lights, beads, whatever makes it fun! Let's create an exciting, eye-catching show for the community and show everyone how awesome motorcycle riders are.
This is more than just a ride — it's our official kickoff to the 2026 season full of adventures, open roads, and great times with the Rockford Area Riders crew.
