Thousands of bikers will be riding into the Cookeville area this summer for the 2017 Southern Backroads H.O.G. Rally, a first-of-its-kind event hosted by the Harley-Davidson Motor Co. in partnership with the Harley Owners’ Group, Cookeville-Putnam County Visitors Bureau and the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development.

Slated for July 11-15, an anticipated 5,000 attendees will descend upon Cookeville for the event, featuring five days of guided and self-guided motorcycle rides, street parties, riding competitions, stunt shows, live music, food vendors and more. The Upper Cumberland region was chosen thanks in part to its scenic backroads and unrivaled hospitality.

In the past, Cookeville has hosted state-level rallies, attracting visitors from 37 states and three countries, so this event serves as an exciting, anticipated tourism boost for the region.
