SEASON OPENING AT HARLEY-DAVIDSON IN THE EAST
What’s actually going on at Harley-Davidson in the East in 2023?
A lot, because there is always a good party, especially in Saxony in the three HD stores of Thomas Heavy Metal Bikes (Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz ).
It starts in Saxony's largest city, Leipzig. The season starts on April 15th. with a proper “season opening”, as Harley-Davidson calls it from this year.
April 15, 2023 Season Opening Harley-Davidson Leipzig
In the north of Leipzig, just 5 minutes from the A14, you will find everything your Harley heart desires on over 1,800 square meters. The almost legendary spring open house in Leipzig is accompanied by live music, test drive opportunities and plenty of food and drinks.
The HD team welcomes you from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Dortmunder Straße. Bikers are allowed to enter the area as long as there is enough space; arriving early ensures good spots. This will definitely be a pretty big party, because the team in Leipzig is, as always, putting in a lot of effort to put together a cool event for you.
April 22nd, 2023 Season Opening Harley-Davidson Chemnitz
It continues on April 22nd. in Chemnitz. Last year, some of you were there for the great re-opening after the move from the mini-store on Zwickauer Straße to the new, huge store on Reichsstraße. An incredibly beautiful object, please look at the pictures again. The Harley store is located in a historic train station from 1858, in the middle of the city.
At the same time as the season opening, the team is celebrating 10 years of company anniversary, as the Chemnitz store was opened in the old building in 2013. At the season opening there are test drive opportunities, live music, delicious beer from the Munzer brewery, which is located in the basement of the Harley store, and plenty of new Harley stuff in the store. The team welcomes you in Chemnitz from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

May 6th, 2023 Season Opening Harley-Davidson Dresden
Last, but not least, the Saxony headquarters, Harley-Davidson Dresden.
This is where things really get down to business. Not only that the season will finally officially start in Dresden on May 6th. There's a big celebration for HD Dresden's 15th anniversary. In 2008, Sibylle Thomas-Göbelbecker and her team opened the store in a listed building that was part of a pharmaceutical factory for many decades.
The big celebration is going on with lots of live music, food & drinks, bikes, test rides , the latest clothes and the whole team from HD Dresden, so everything is there. A visit to the outskirts of Dresden, not far from the Karl May Museum, is definitely worth it and Dresden as a city anyway. Some people already know Dresden from the Harley Days , which will also take place in July this year from July 21st to 23rd.
Pro tip: Saxony offers many brilliant motorcycle routes, which are worth a visit even if there are no parties. But some of you will probably pass through here on the way to Budapest.
