Harley Village and supporting programme
Every year, the centre of the European Bike Week is the Harley Village around the farmers' market area on lake Faaker See with numerous Harley dealers, Farmers Market, Carinthian Corner, Harley Bar and Customizer Area, including Expo, Demo Rides and much more.
Opening hours
The Harley-Davidson Zone will open its doors on Tuesday 8 September 2026, from 12 noon to 10.00 pm. From Wednesday 9 September to Saturday 12 September 2026, the zone will be open daily from 10.00 am to 8.00 pm.
Even after the official programme has ended, there’s still plenty to do: the restaurants, bars and shops invite you to enjoy yourself, stroll around and linger every day until late in the evening.
Programme in the Harley Village
Expo
As every year, a highlight is the H-D Expo, featuring an extensive selection of the latest 2026 model-year bikes and custom inspiration from the region. Here, you can chat with other visitors, discover the latest innovations and have a chat with the Harley-Davidson team. There’s also a special experience waiting right next to the Expo: at Jumpstart, you can – even without a driving licence – experience the feeling of sitting on a Harley-Davidson, opening the throttle and feeling the authentic sound and vibration of a real H-D motorbike.
Test rides
Test ride some of the most popular 2026 H-D bikes from the Sport, Cruiser, Grand American Touring and Adventure Touring ranges in the Demo Ride Zone. To ensure you get the chance to ride the motorbike of your choice, please register on site well in advance.
Pan America Adventure Zone
For adventure seekers, there’s the Pan America Adventure Zone, where you can take part in off-road training sessions and dynamic test drives. Experienced instructors are on hand to answer any questions.
