Rides for the Rise is Erie’s premier Motor Music Festival — bringing together motorcycles, custom vehicles, live music, food trucks, local vendors, entertainers, and families from across the region for an unforgettable day on the Bayfront.
The event begins with a motorcycle and motor(cars, jeeps, trucks, etc) parade traveling through Erie before ending at the Rebich Investments Amphitheater at Liberty Park, where attendees can enjoy live performances, local food, shopping, community organizations, and family-friendly activities throughout the day.
Hosted by Save The Youth 814, Rides for the Rise was created to celebrate Erie culture while raising awareness and support for local youth-focused programs and initiatives. The festival highlights everything local — from Erie’s music and food scene to small businesses, creatives, and community leaders — all while creating a positive and energetic atmosphere for visitors of all ages.
