We may be biased, but this is the best motorcycle festival in the northeast. Come for yourself and see just how much fun this event can be. Scenic motorcycle rides, motorcycle games, bike-build offs, motocross stunts, spaghetti wrestling, fire breathing, you name it we’ve got it! There's something to do for everyone, like shopping our huge vendor expo and live entertainment by multiple bands each day and night.
The Catskill Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Festival takes place each September at Blackthorne Resort, set on over 100 acres with camping facilities, motel rooms, an inground pool, a Tiki Bar, and a pavilion. The festival grounds come alive with vendors, bike builders competing in a build-off, bike games, bike artists, an MX stunt show, live bands, and bars—including a martini bar. Alongside standard camping amenities, guests can enjoy a large indoor bar with food, drinks, and top regional musicians, plus a dining room, beer garden, aerial burnout pit, multiple outdoor bars, and a massive outdoor stage for headline performances.
