The third annual Summer Rally at Church in the Valley brought together motorcycles, music, food, and community spirit for a lively day along Highway M-38. Riders and visitors filled the grounds to admire polished machines, enjoy live performances, and take part in a gathering that celebrated both local enthusiasm and a meaningful cause.
Held on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, the event featured more than 70 bikes that competed in a motorcycle show judged across six categories: Best Sports, Best Vintage, Best Bagger, Best Chopper, Best Stock, and Best in Show. Bikes lined up early as voting opened at noon and continued until 5 p.m., with winners announced at 6 p.m. To read more, subscribe to the L’Anse Sentinel online, or buy a print copy at our local retailers.
