Every year thousands of bikers on Harleys and tens of thousands of tourists come to Northern Germany in old Hamburg, who dream of huddling among colorful uncles with long beards and their iron horses. Guests can enjoy a varied cultural program, rivers of beer, and stunt stunts on motorcycles.
At the end of June every year, a parade called Harley Days is held in Hamburg. The place where the festival takes place is very picturesque, it is located next to the central market and the railway station. In just a few days, a small tent village grows up in Hamburg. Celebrating the biker holiday has already become a good tradition for the residents of this city and its thousands of guests.
The legendary and iconic Harley Davidson motorcycle brand is the symbol of this carnival, because it is a symbol of freedom and independence. The festival is for bikers who come to the miles of roaring parade to showcase their superb Harley Davidson motorcycles. At the festival, vehicles of only this company are presented, but of completely different years, starting from the earliest models of 1916.
The parade festival starts at about one in the afternoon. It is at this time that motorcycle enthusiasts start their marathon. The length of the route is approximately 42 kilometers, which is enough for bikers to show their ability to perfectly control the "iron horse". Every year about 50 thousand people come to the holiday from all over Europe and even from overseas to take part in the parade.
The festival is available not only for bikers, but also for tourists and spectators who want to look at rare motorcycle models and have fun. In addition to the "exhibition" of bikes, there are other entertainment events, shows and concerts at the festival. The Germans bring tons of beer and sausages to the festival.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the second part of the events scheduled for the holiday begins. Since that time, the Jazz Open has been held in the park called Planten und Blomen, where you can listen to live original music. Admission to the concert is free for everyone, and the event itself takes place in the fresh air in the open air.
In addition to cultural events on the street, at the festival you can visit local bars, where you can also listen to music, but already of different directions, not only jazz. At the parade, you can watch the performances of stuntmen. Those interested can buy a Harley-Davidson motorcycle from the official dealers who will be present at the festival.
