(Neu-Isenburg, March 23, 2016) Is Cologne Germany's greatest city? The people of Cologne say: Absolutely! The cheerful, open and uncomplicated attitude of the residents of this “village of millions on the Rhine” contributes significantly to the unshakable local patriotic view. Cologne residents like to laugh and celebrate - and festivals like the Harley Dome Cologne, which takes place on June 18th and 19th, underline the nonchalance of the Rhenish metropolis. There is good reason for the event, which is taking place for the third time, to be subtitled “Urban Street” this time, as the organizers have reorganized the event location. The 2016 celebration will take place on Alfred-Schhütte-Allee, directly on the right bank of the Rhine - with a wonderful view of the cathedral and Cologne's flagship urban district, the Rheinauhafen with its spectacular crane houses.

The approximately one kilometer long avenue acts as the “Main Street” during the event, where people and machines can see and be seen. It offers plenty of space for motorcycle, accessories and clothing retailers as well as the Jeep adventure course. The free test rides on the current Harley-Davidson models and the big parade through the cathedral city start from the event site, which is seen as a demonstration against intolerance and violence towards motorcyclists in traffic. A 4,000 m2 industrial hall on the event site houses the used and small parts market, which anyone who has registered via the website can take part. The custom bike show also takes place here: on Saturday the most beautiful among the beautiful conversions will be selected by a jury of experts and on Sunday via public voting.

While the adjacent Rhine meadows invite you to picnic in the countryside, artists along the avenue invite you to marvel, beer garden islands invite you to relax and catering stands invite you to feast - from juicy steak from the smoker to spicy salmon prepared over an open fire - stay at this "Street Food Market" no wishes left unfulfilled.

In addition to the countless motorcycles, thirteen bands provide the stylish event soundtrack.
Eight of them have already won national contests. Admission to the Harley Dome Cologne 2016 is free. Anyone who would like to drive onto the site by motorcycle will receive an “Urban Street Pass” valid on both days for 10 euros, which will allow them to stroll along the avenue on their bike as long and as often as they want and also to park there. If it is overcrowded, you can park nearby for free. Further information can be found at www.harleydomecologne.de .
