About the event

Back for its 14th year – European Bike Week – can it get any better? Oh yes it can! Europe’s biggest free and open bike event saw more than 70,000 bikes circle the shores of Faaker See in Austria in 2010.


For 2011, the region of Carinthia will once again come alive with the sound of V-Twins as European Bike Week comes to town.


Highlights for 2011 include the announcement of rock legends Uriah Heep who will headline the main stage. For custom bike enthusiasts, make sure you enter the AMD Affiliated Custom Bike Show. Not only is a trip to Sturgis to compete at the World Championships up for grabs, but the winner of the Best Modified Harley class will also ride away the proud owner of a Screamin’ Eagle Big Bore engine – the perfect start to their next custom project!


Harley-Davidson’s Demo Ride Experience will, this year, have a fleet of 2012 models, as well as the new Jumpstart experience where non-riders can feel the power of a V-Twin without moving an inch. Come along and have a go!


The parade will once again see more than 25,000 bikes take the ride from Faaker See to Finkenstein, Villach and Ossiacher See. In 2010 the parade was rumoured to have stretched 26km – let’s see if we can beat that this year!


This event continues to attract dealers and traders from all across Europe who will occupy the Dealer Mile and provide shopping enthusiasts with plenty of choice. With food, drink, entertainment and some of Europe’s best biking roads, what more could you ask for? Get the dates in the diary: September 6-11!
