European Bike Week 2024 in Austria

Every year, the Austrian region of Carinthia draws motorcyclists from all over Europe. They gather at Lake Faak, a beautiful and cozy spot with turquoise water. Some of the top motorcycle brands create their official pop-ups, such as Harley Village. Camping Arneitz is another noteworthy attraction, located right near Harley Village, with plenty of beer taps and music tents.

Motorcycle Parade & Rally (September 7, 2024)

The parade of bikers is obviously the greatest allure of the week. The noise and vibrations produced by hundreds of motorbikes are truly an astonishing experience for both the riders as well as the spectators. If you have never been to the European Bike Week before, it can seem a bit overwhelming. The parade begins at 12 pm near Lake Faak, continues to Finkenstein, then through the center of Villach, circles around Lake Ossiah, and returns through Wernberg to Lake Faak

The Saturday parade is a great opportunity to see how much people and their motorcycles can handle. If you are a motorcyclist, you must experience this rally at least once in your life. However, you might find that if you go once, you can't resist coming back again.

Other Events

The event's extended program features much more than the parade—you'll have a chance to witness the custom bike show and biker build-off, as well as plenty of good music and other entertainment. Attendees can choose their next bike by trying out different models in the demo rides section. The shopping village is filled to the brim with vendors selling a variety of biking goods, including apparel, accessories, and parts.

Music Lineup

Impressing the biker crowd is a tough task, but the music selection at the Camping Arneitz is certainly able to do that. Multiple tribute bands will set the stage on fire by playing their renditions of legendary rock hits. The lineup includes the Rammstein tribute band Eisernmann, the ACDC tribute Black Ice, Metallica tribute SAD, and the iconic band The Monroes.

Schedule

European Bike Week takes place annually in early September. The Harley Village is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am until 8 pm and from 10 pm until 1 pm on Sunday. Concerts at Camping Arneitz are scheduled every day of the European Bike Week at 10 pm.
