South Georgia Red Neck & Golf Cart Rally
April 05 - April 07, 2012
Bainbridge, Georgia, USA |
|
|
|
|
Demographics: A25+ skew male.
Components:
• Mainstage featuring continuous live country rock and country music.
• Golf cart games.
• Golf Cart parade.
• More than 100 merchandise vendors.
• Red Neck food and beer.
Overview:
There is no other event on this planet quite like the Red Neck & Golf Cart Rally in South Georgia. Visualize a huge, loud and lively motorcycle rally mind- insert modified and souped -up golf carts for motorcycles- and you’ll have an idea of what this event is like.
The specific demographic we label as ‘South Georgia Rednecks’ is a bit tongue in cheek- but not entirely. There is a certain segment of the deep south population that simply LOVES TO PARTY!! These self-styled ‘Red Necks’ are actually gainfully employed, middle class, educated, mostly men- who have one talent in common- the fine art of having (and inventing) fun.
Fun loving people tend to gravitate to each other- which is the reason the South Georgia Red Neck & Golf Cart Rally was created. It’s a three-day Red Neck paradise celebrating ‘all things red neck’ including the latest craze- souped-up, modified gold carts.
The event offers up three days of live southern rock and country music, a golf cart rally, golf cart games and a parade, a wide variety of southern red neck food offerings, and more than 100 merchandise vendors offering everything from golf cart accessories to leather goods to tattoos- anything and everything that appeals to the South Georgia Red Neck.
Attendees are encouraged to camp on the grounds for the weekend.

In a land where bison once thundered across the prairie, modern-day cowboys rumble across the land on iron horses. Each August, hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists journey to the Mecca of the motorcycling world: Sturgis, South Dakota.
The legacy of the Sturgis Rally began in 1938 when J.C. "Pappy" Hoel, a local motorcycle shop owner, and some friends came up with the idea of holding a motorcycle race and stunt competition. The first event consisted of 19 racers at the half-mile track and some dangerous events such as board-wall crashes, ramp jumps and head-on collisions with cars. Now, some 61 years later, it's the granddaddy of all motorcycle rallies and races. The small community of Sturgis has welcomed motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world for racing, tours of the beautiful Black Hills, concerts, trade shows and bike shows. It’s a week of fun and laughter and spending time with people who are as passionate about motorcycles as you are.

The Bureau, the official destination sales and marketing representative of the City of San Bernardino, created and owns the Route 66 Rendezvous name and registered trademark.
Unlike many other special events and festivals, the Route 66 Rendezvous is not designed as a fund raising activity, but rather is economic development project. The SBCVBs primary objective is to create significant economic impact in the San Bernardino region through tourism by creating and producing innovative special events, like the Route 66 Rendezvous. The SBCVB has accomplished this goal.
The first Rendezvous took place in 1990 at Glen Helen Regional Park in Devore with 300 vehicles and about 4,000 visitors enjoying the cars, a concert and a cruise down E Street in San Bernardino.
In 1991, the event moved to the National Orange Show grounds and expanded with the help of the Over the Hill Gang car club.
1992 put the event on the map as a major celebration for nostalgia buffs nationwide. More than 700 vehicles filled downtown San Bernardino streets in celebration of the 66th anniversary of Route 66 The Mother Road.
The Rendezvous crowds have grown every year with the 2003 event drawing over 2,100 cars and over 550,000 spectators.
The Cruisin Hall of Fame® was inaugurated in 1995 with a painted wall outside City Hall to salute individuals, vehicles, auto industry luminaries and others who have contributed to the mystique of the cruising era.
Four new honorees will be inducted into the Cruisin Hall of Fame® this year.
