Harley-Davidson Europe announces a host of exciting events
for 2015
Harley-Davidson riders from across
Europe and beyond are gearing up for a fantastic year of Harley events as the
company announces its schedule for 2015.
Each event is designed to have its own unique flavour and
atmosphere, giving visitors a distinct and different experience at each venue
and a real ‘reason to ride’ to each one. The only constants will be a schedule
of great live music, custom bike shows, demo rides, parades, dealer and traders
areas, ride-outs – and the camaraderie of thousands of fellow Harley riders.
The event season kicks off in earnest at Grimaud, South of
France with the ninth annual Harley-Davidson Euro Festival, taking place from
7-10 May in the Golfe de St-Tropez in the chic Cote D’Azur region. There will
be a laid back vibe at this increasingly popular beachfront event in the Harley
calendar. Over 13,000 Harley devotees and biking fans attended the 2014 edition
of this event, and this year many more are expected to soak up the resort
atmosphere, listen to some great music on the beach stage and chill out at the
many nightclubs and restaurants.
The highlight for many Harley riders and fellow
motorcyclists each year is the European H.O.G. ® Rally, which moves to a
different location each year. The 24th Annual European H.O.G. Rally takes place
18-21 June in the beautiful setting of sophisticated, chic Spanish marina
resort Puerto Sherry near Cadiz. This stunning location has never hosted a
major Harley-Davidson event before and over 10,000 riders are expected to attend
this year.
Next on the calendar is the annual Barcelona Harley Days
(3-5 July). Started in 2008 as the official 105th Anniversary celebration for
Europe, this open and free event in the heart of the cosmopolitan Catalan
capital is a perennial favourite and a massive draw for Harley riders and brand
enthusiasts from across Europe.
Finally, the celebrations come to a climax in Austria with
the traditional season closing event in Faaker See, Austria. Once again Faaker
See plays host to Europe’s biggest open and free biker festival, European Bike
Week. From 8-13 September, more than 100,000 riders from all over Europe and
beyond will be turning the province of Carinthia into a massive Harley-Davidson
festival. The event will provide entertainment, events and activities to suit
every taste, amid some of the most breathtaking scenery and riding roads to be
found anywhere in the world.
“2015 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for
Harley-Davidson, and we are going to mark the occasion with our most exciting line-up
of events yet,” said Trevor Barton, Harley-Davidson Europe Consumer Experience
Manager. “Harley-Davidson is a customer-led organisation and we have listened
to what our owners and customers told us to ensure we deliver the best season
of Harley-Davidson events yet.”
