The 2027 European H.O.G. Rally Returns to Biograd
The 2027 European H.O.G. Rally will take place from June 10 to 13, 2027, in Biograd na Moru on the Croatian Adriatic coast. Harley-Davidson and the Harley Owners Group are bringing Europe’s largest brand rally back to Croatia, to a coastal town that previously hosted the rally in 2011 and 2014. For the European Harley community, it will be a long weekend featuring rides, live music, a custom bike show, and the traditional parade.
The date and venue have been set
The 33rd edition of the European H.O.G. Rally will take place from Thursday, June 10, through Sunday, June 13, 2027. The event will be held in Biograd na Moru in Zadar County, located between Zadar and Šibenik right on the coast. At this time, the dates and location have been confirmed. Based on past experience, Harley-Davidson typically announces the full program, registration details, and rally packs a few months before the event.
Biograd na Moru: A Return to the Adriatic Sea
Biograd is no stranger to the European Harley scene. Back in 2011 and 2014, the town, together with Croatia Harley Days, hosted the European Rally, drawing tens of thousands of visitors to the Adriatic Sea on both occasions. The location plays right into the event’s hands. Crystal-clear water, marinas, the nearby Kornati National Park and Lake Vrana, as well as winding coastal roads, make the region an ideal setting for tours around the main rally events.
Here's what visitors can expect
A specific program for 2027 has not yet been announced. However, the format of the most recent rallies in Medulin and Cascais gives a good idea of what participants can expect in Biograd. The centerpiece is the Rally Village, featuring a vendor area, food and drink options, and a stage. The event also includes guided rides, demo rides on the latest Harley-Davidson models, a custom bike show, and several evenings of live music. The highlight is traditionally the big parade on Saturday, when thousands of motorcycles roll through town.
The European H.O.G. Rally is an open event for all Harley-Davidson owners and is generally free of charge. Official rally registration, which includes a rally pack, is available to members of the Harley Owners Group. Certain activities, such as guided tours or specific H.O.G. events, may require registration.
Travel and Accommodations
The nearest airport is Zadar (ZAD), about 30 kilometers away; Split (SPU) is about 130 kilometers to the south. If you’re traveling by motorcycle from German-speaking countries, the classic route takes you through Austria and Slovenia, with many winding Alpine stretches, followed by the Croatian coastal highway. Take the A1 highway to the Biograd or Sveti Filip i Jakov exit.
Biograd is located about 28 kilometers southeast of Zadar, across from the island of Pašman. Around the harbor area—which, based on past experience, is where the heart of the rally takes place—there are campgrounds, hotels, and apartments within walking distance. An official accommodation website, similar to the one for Medulin in 2025, has not yet been published for 2027. Those who plan early can find suitable accommodations in Biograd and the surrounding area directly online.
