Hamburg Harley Days
If you dream of seeing hundreds of Harley-Davidson motorcycles together or riding in one of the biggest Harley parades, then you can’t miss out on attending Europe’s biggest biker event, Hamburg Harley Days.
The city of Hamburg transforms itself into a Harley haven every summer, as the European Harley Davidson community comes together for a weekend-long celebration.
Experience the Harley Village
The annual event centres on the Harley Village on the Großmarkt, which features over 5.000 merchants and food and drink stalls. Alongside official dealers, visitors can shop at numerous stands for equipment related to the Harley Davidson brand.
The main stage acts as the starting point for demo rides, for those who have always wanted to ride a Harley, as well as for the large parade on Sunday. The demo rides function on a first come, first serve basis, so be sure to arrive on time and don’t forget to bring your valid driver’s license!
A number of bands will also be performing on the main stage throughout the weekend. Check the full programme online for more details.
Harley only at Ride-in Bike show
An open exhibition of some of the most unique, custom-built bikes will take place on the second day of the event on the Großmarkt of the most beautiful and spectacular bikes are displayed and divided into eight categories, from Sportster to Radical Custom. An expert jury carefully inspects them all before naming the winners during the ceremony at 3pm.
Extra Harley fun at the Stunt Show
On Friday and Saturday evening daredevils will entertain the crowds in front of the town hall. Featured performer is Maciej “DOP” Bielicki, the world record holder for the longest motorcycle burnout, and there will be two shows each evening.
