The four-day Texas gathering combines an all-female parade, motorcycle competitions, live entertainment and a regional food drive centred on women riders and community participation.
Ladies in Leather announced that its eighth annual Parade & Rally was scheduled for September 10–13, 2026, at Kay Yeager Coliseum and Copperhead Harley-Davidson in Wichita Falls, Texas. Presented by Copperhead Harley-Davidson, the four-day programme was set to combine an all-female motorcycle parade with stunt shows, competitions, music and community activities. The event’s format places women riders at the centre while opening the wider rally festivities to spectators and male riders.
The organisation describes the gathering as the largest travelling all-female motorcycle parade and rally in the United States. Its defining procession was reserved exclusively for women riders and planned to pass through the heart of Wichita Falls, while the surrounding programme was designed for a broader audience. The distinction gives the event a dual role: a dedicated riding platform for women and a public motorcycle gathering built around entertainment, participation and local engagement.
The release listed live performances by Stevie Nicks tribute act GypsyATX and Knight Ryder, alongside an all-female stunt-riding presentation from The Della Crew Stunt Show. The Globe of Death Squad was also included in the programme, with riders performing inside a metal cage. Rider-focused activities were to include Ladies Motorcycle Games, a Ladies Bike Show and a Ladies Loud Pipes Contest, while Wayhopper-powered digital scavenger hunts, workshops, vendor shopping and the returning Ladies in Leather Biker Ball were also planned. Registration, vendor applications and host-hotel links were reported as open when the release was issued on July 15, 2026.
Beyond the entertainment schedule, Ladies in Leather said it was partnering with the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank on a Stuff Your Saddlebags food drive. Attendees, participants and local residents were encouraged to bring non-perishable food items in support of efforts addressing regional food insecurity. The programme was also set to include a memorial ceremony and live butterfly release honouring deceased members of the riding community. Together, these elements extend the rally beyond spectacle by connecting its motorcycle culture with remembrance and a specific local charitable initiative.
For Ladies in Leather, the Wichita Falls event reflects a model that combines a women-only parade with inclusive rally programming around it. The mix of riding competitions, specialist stunt entertainment, social activities and charitable participation gives attendees several ways to engage without weakening the procession’s focus on women motorcyclists. By taking the travelling event back to Texas for its eighth edition, the organisation is using a destination rally to reinforce its rider community while creating a visible public occasion in the host city.
