Welcome home to all motorcyclists and visitors who are in Milwaukee celebrating 110 years with Harley-Davidson. The kick-off celebration started last year, and riders all over the world have racked up over one million miles on Harley-Davidson bikes, from the Australian outback to the Autobahn in Germany and finally all over America to commemorate this anniversary. This legendary party is going to be one to remember, so here are some of the great Harley-Davidson events being sponsored throughout Milwaukee and southeastern Wisconsin.
Live Music
60 bands in 3 days feature fan-favorite headliners Toby Keith, Aerosmith and Kid Rock. With 57 other acts, everyone is sure to find live music they love, from Lupe Fiasco to Bret Michaels, Dropkick Murphys to ZZ Top. You can buy celebration tickets that offer two- and three-day passes or individual tickets for headliners that start as low as $20-$24.50. This epic event is being hosted at the Henry Maier Festival (Summerfest) Grounds, and tickets grant you access to official merchandise, exhibits, product displays, access to great food and drink plus one of the best views of the Milwaukee lakefront.
Milwaukee Harley Museum
The H-D Museum is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for all who attend. Take a ticketed, self-guided tour from 9am-9pm to learn more about the history of Harley-Davidson. Starting Thursday, you can enjoy many free outdoor activities including the H-D Museum Custom Bike Show, Museum Members-only Lounge, new product displays, custom culture artisans, concessions and live music.
