Bikers Welcome and supporting programme
As in previous years, Villach city centre will once again be extending a warm welcome to motorcyclists in 2027.
Throughout Bike Week, Villach will be showcasing itself with expanded outdoor dining areas and special decorations. The popular street food market invites visitors to linger and enjoy themselves, whilst the official Custom Motorcycle Show on the Hauptplatz on Friday draws enthusiastic onlookers and custom bike fans to the city centre. Numerous concerts will also ensure a lively atmosphere.
The absolute highlight in 2027 will once again be the grand biker parade, which on Saturday, 11 September, from around 12.15 pm, will wind its way through the centre of Villach via Italiener Straße, Postgasse, Hauptplatz and Bahnhofstraße.
