It’s back! The 31st Annual Bonfire & Gumbo Ride is one of the Gulf South BMW Owners Club’s longest-running traditions, bringing riders together for a day of riding, food, and community as we close out another year on the road.

We’ll gather for a morning ride (route and meet-up details to be announced soon), then share gumbo around the fire—celebrating the holidays the Gulf South way.
