Harley-Davidson is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year. What better way to celebrate than by taking over a sports arena in Budapest, Hungary and throwing a big party?
The last weekend of June 2023 will feature a festival-style celebration of Harleys, including live music, food and beverages, HD exhibitions, over 300 shopping stalls, and an upscale Harley Owners Club paddock including a pop-up barbershop by Uppercut Deluxe. Over 100,000 visitors visited each day.
UCDC member Tiphaine Aupy (from Tiphaine Le Barbier) flew in from the surfing capital of France to work with some of Hungary's best barbers for haircuts and beard trims.
After a rather frightening storm the night before that wiped out a good portion of the festival's spectacle, four days of hot, clear skies and sunshine made for perfect riding for those who ride horses from all over Europe to take part in the festival. It was the condition.
Thank you to Harley-Davidson for inviting us and to the entire Hungarian crew for making this event possible!
