STURGIS — The town of Sturgis is bracing for an influx of bikers this weekend as the 13th edition of the Sturgis South Motorcycle Rally kicks off in southwestern Oktibbeha County.

The rally officially begins Friday, though the first major event will take place Friday afternoon, when riders will line up in formation and head toward Starkville on the annual dinner ride.

The bulk of rally activities will take place Saturday. Riders will have a chance to participate in everything from burnout contests to bike shows and other activities.

The rally typically draws about 20,000 to 25,000 people over the three-day weekend and organizers are expecting similar numbers this year.
