WILLINGEN - THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING

The Harley-Davidson Weekend Willingen is coming now 2024?

New negotiations are currently underway in Willingen with various restaurateurs, the municipality of Willingen and Harley-Davidson dealers / Harley-Davidson. A new name is already being discussed! Is the Harley-Davidson Weekend Willingen coming??

This preliminary information is unofficial, a new concept is currently being developed, which Harley-Davidson still has to agree to. According to Harleysite information, all parties involved are willing to let the event take place with a new concept for visitors and exhibitors!

After the previous organizers of the Bike Week Willingen failed with their plans and caused a lot of resentment among Harley riders, there is new information from Willingen after this spontaneous cancellation of the event. The situation seems to be regrouping, nothing is official yet, so if you had booked vacation days and your hotel for this weekend, you should wait a little longer before you throw your plans overboard.

New negotiations in Willingen!

There are currently new negotiations, at first an MC was under discussion, but that is probably off the table again. Local restaurateurs have met with Harley-Davidson dealers who, like Harley-Davidson itself, are interested in continuing the event. They were all apparently just as surprised by the cancellation as the community and, of course, the bikers. Under discussion are the „Sauerlandstern“ and the hotel „To the game thief“, who want to take over the event together with the support of the town of Willingen.

There have already been initial discussions with Harley-Davidson and some Harley-Davidson dealers who are now working on reorganizing the event. This will require a new company to run the event in the future. Initial plans indicate that the intention is no longer to hold the event in the parking lot. Instead, the plan is to leave the main stage at the previous, familiar location. The removed parking lot will no longer be part of the event, but it is planned to move the event area around the Sauerlandstern area, which will allow for short distances in the village.

According to Harleysite information, the event period will probably be planned as follows:

Harley-Davidson Weekend Willingen from July 12 to 14, 2024

Fri. 12:00 to 23:00 - Saturday 10:00 to 23:00 and Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00. Thursday is the concert of the „The Hooters“, The event is planned to take place in the Willingen visitor center, where up to 2000 visitors can be accommodated and tickets can already be booked. The official event is not scheduled to start until Friday, July 12, 2024.

As mentioned in advance, the dates have not yet been confirmed, so logically they now have to work on attracting new exhibitors to the event. That depends on the conditions, but according to initial information, they don't want to make the same mistakes as the old kings who have now left their throne. It remains exciting, I will keep you up to date, as you can read, they are working at full speed!
