The Hamburg Harley Days are in the starting blocks

Europe's largest biker city event is taking place this weekend

28-30 June – Construction at the wholesale market has begun

Tomorrow at 12 p.m. the gates will open again for Europe's unique biker city event: The Hamburg Harley Days are taking place for the 19th time. Guests from all over the world are arriving today and tomorrow. Around the wholesale market hall people are shopping, driving, feasting, talking about petrol and rocking out.

The event ends on Sunday with the big Harley parade , which this year will be led by numerous guests of honor: ex-stuntwoman Miriam Höller , the East Frisian Mr. T., Keno Veith , pro kite surfer and 8-time German champion Linus Erdmann , soccer coach Michael Oenning , actor and model Angelo Carlucci to cult Koberer Fabian Zahrt.  Actor Till Demtrøder also there with his coastal colleague Bianca Karsten And presenter Hinnerk Baumgarten will also attend the event. On Sunday from 1 p.m. the guests of honor will be available for photos and interviews.

Line-up at the wholesale market starts at 10 a.m., departure around 2 p.m. The starting signal is given by the American Consul General Jason Chue . The route will be closed briefly during the parade. The closure will be lifted immediately after the last motorcycle has passed, meaning that the relevant streets or road sections will not be accessible for a maximum of 30 minutes.

But before that happens, there will be a lot of good live music: H-BLOCKX are the headliner on Friday evening. The “time to move anniversary” tour of the crossover pioneers, who have already shared the stage with Eminem and the Black Eyed Peas, is almost sold out - and so it is a real opportunity to experience the live power of H-Blockx, a real veteran of the German music landscape, at the Harley Days. Another 18 bands also offer rock'n'roll, blues, rockabilly or southern music.

In addition to the newly designed custom bike show on Saturday, special program items this year include the stunt show with even more dates, including on Sunday. Brand new: the 2nd Hamburg State Grill Championship on Saturday , the Block House Cup on the BBQ Court on Sunday and a tattoo convention with around 20 tattoo artists. Test drives of the latest models also particularly attract fans of the legendary V-twins.

An event hotline has been set up for all further questions about the event, the parade, temporary traffic disruptions and complaints: 040-410095-15.

The event times are as follows:

Fri. 28.6. – 12-midnight

Sat. June 29th – 11 a.m. to midnight

Sun. June 30th – 10 a.m. to 6 p.m

The organizers expressly point out to guests that driving on residential areas (especially side streets in St. Pauli) as well as burn-outs are to be avoided out of consideration for Hamburg's resident population.
