Nation of Patriots Flag Ride

Event date: 
Sat, 09/19/2026 - 8:30am

Join us as we ride to deliver the Traveling Flag to Bergdale Harley-Davidson in Albert Lea, MN for the closing ceremony.

Every year the Nation of PatriotsTM organizes a national effort that pays tribute to, and honors, all of America’s Armed Forces – Past, Present, and Fallen. This united effort is known as The Patriot TourTM.

The Patriot TourTM consists of one American Flag being carried through all 50 states, escorted by tens of thousands for 115 days straight all in honor of America’s Armed Forces members. The Patriot TourTM is a vehicle through which we strive to unite Americans beneath the colors of our nation’s Flag and behind the men and women who bravely stand up to defend them.

This is a charity event and 100% of all donations received go directly to the veterans we strive to help. To donate and make a difference in the lives of veterans and their families please click here: Donations

Everyone is welcome!

This ride is open to everyone and all motorcycle riders regardless of brand.

This is a rain or shine event. In the event of rain, we may deliver the Traveling Flag in cages (cars).
