The Sturgis City Council has agreed to change city ordinances to allow attendees at the town’s famed motorcycle rally to drink beer or wine outside of bars or restaurants.
The council approved the change during its meeting this week. This year’s rally will be held from Aug. 6-15.
There is a caveat, though. An official Sturgis rally cup must be purchased and used if patrons want to consume beer or wine outside of bars or restaurants during the rally, to be held Aug. 6-15. No hard liquor will be allowed outside of bars or restaurants, per a South Dakota ordinance.
