Harley-Davidson, which turns one hundred and twenty years old this year, is headquartered in the United States, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the largest parade takes place on July 13th.–It will take place there between the 16. However, the unique heritage of the brand is accompanied by a series of celebrations throughout the year, the highlight of which will be the European event in Budapest on June 22–Between 25.
The festival will take place in the new Puskás Aréna Park – the home of our football team – in the main building of the stadium and its garden, as well as in the wide street right in front of the magnificent stadium. During the four action-packed days, Harley-Davidson and its partners offer plenty of entertainment for everyone. Among other things, fans will enjoy more than fifty bands on six stages, but the focus will naturally be on motorcycle culture with historical exhibitions and spectacular motorcycle shows, in which stuntmen take part. There will also be a display of professionally created engines. And on June 23, more than seven thousand participants are expected to attend the Harley-Davidson Parade, where drivers will tour famous sites in Budapest.
A hundred days before the event, at today’s press conference in Budapest, Kolja Rebstock, Harley-Davidson’s EMEA Vice President, said the following:
– As we expect about a hundred thousand people interested in the event, the festival promises to be a great celebration of the motorcycling community, hosted by the brand with the greatest heritage. Harley-Davidson has been the famous motorcycle brand in the world for one hundred and twenty years, so I wholeheartedly recommend Budapest in June as a destination for Harley-Davidson bikers, the Harley owner group, and of course the entire motorcycling community. As lovers of music and adrenaline all over Europe.
The participants in the press conference were greeted by Annette Pease, Deputy Mayor in charge of Humanitarian Affairs, who said that one of the most beautiful things in life is when a person has a hobby for which he lives and dies, leaving a milestone. In life, even if at work, we encounter difficulties in the family or just between the storms of fate.
It is so nice that this hobby provides community, a second family, and the opportunity to make many parts of the world familiar and unknown to us. Fans of Harley-Davidson motorcycles will get all this, Anett Bősz said.
Balázs Szalay, Managing Director of the Hungarian Organizing Agency Sportmarketing, said that the organizers maintain a very good relationship not only with the capital, but also with the region, as part of the cooperation, together with the Budapest branch, they plant trees in Hungária körút and Gvadányi út.
– It is a great honor and at the same time a great mission that Budapest hosts the participants of the 120-year-old European Harley-Davidson Festival, we welcome tens of thousands of people to the Puskás Aréna park every day. Tickets are selling well, and the festival is expected to be held in a great atmosphere. From a director’s point of view, we are trying to add to this the maximum, and in addition to concerts, motorcycle shows and exhibitions, we also offer programs in which every family member can find entertainment for themselves: this will be a free family park, motocross for the little ones, a theme park Adrenaline, where catapult jumping or bungee jumping is a real test of courage – is on Balázs Szalay’s list, but all this is only part of the offer.
