Rüm hart, klaar kiming
The 18th Summertime Party will take place on Sylt from May 29th to 31st
• Three strong party days on Germany's number 1 dream island
• Bikes, clothing, accessories, lots of music and a big parade
• The number of participants is limited
“Wide heart, clear horizon” is the motto of North Frisia – or as the natives put it: “Rüm hart, klaar kiming”. And fur seals, swimming rats, lighthouse fans, beachcombers, surfers and gourmets - they all agree: nowhere can you feel both more intensely than on Sylt. The small island is both a myth and a cult. Wind and water shape its fascinating landscape and wherever you move between surf, white sand and wide dunes, the endless horizon always shapes your view and opens your heart.
A number of Harley fans and riders have also fallen for the proverbial charm of Sylt - for 17 years now - after all, the Summertime Party takes place every year in the island's capital Westerland, a party organized by the Sylt Chapter of the Harley Owners Group in the style of Harley-Davidson. This year's edition starts on Friday, May 29th with an impressive array of bikes on Elisabethstrasse at Harley-Davidson Fashion Sylt.

Along the event main street, friends of the US brand will find their fill of food and drink as well as accessories and clothing. In the evening you enjoy the biker buffet and party until the doctor comes. The iconic party band United Four from Oldenburg rocks the stage and a DJ ensures that the party continues well into the night. The next morning, numerous spectators greet the drivers and their machines on the spa promenade before the engines are started at around 12 noon for the big tour. After a detour to the south, we head via the island villages in the east to List, where Gosch has the finest food from the sea. And at the end a cool Sylt band awaits the bikers in Wenningstedt in the late afternoon. Afterwards, the event location and 40 kilometers of sandy beach invite you to enjoy the sea, passion and life. Everyone decides for themselves whether they choose gas talk, shopping, freshly caught snacks or a quiet beach chair in the dunes. Casualness is always the key!
The participation fee of 80 euros includes entry to the party, party present and pin, the rich biker buffet on the party evening, food vouchers during the trip and a discount on travel to the island by train or ship.
Registration for the 18th Summertime Party and further information can be found on the website of the Sylt Chapter of the Harley Owners Group at www.sylt-chapter.beepworld.de .
You just have to hurry, because the number of participants is limited.
