Celebrations that Prague has never experienced before: 115 years of Harley-Davidson!
You will be able to hear the thunder in Prague and lovers of deluxe powerful machines will have the unique opportunity to try riding the American legend called Harley-Davidson!
“Harley Davidson connects people around the world and provides them with a unique riding experience and also lifestyle,” Martin Heřmanský, executive director for strategically developing markets in the region of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, explains.
Prague has a large fan base
Prague has had an H-D Club since 1928, which is proof of how popular the brand is with Czechs and Slovaks. Sale of tickets to the deluxe once-in-a-lifetime event, which will be held at the Exhibition Grounds in Holešovice, started some time ago and over 35,000 tickets were sold in a total of 66 countries worldwide during the first two months of sale!
Jaroslav Vavřina the organiser of the celebrations says: “We have registered the most interest from Germany, Great Britain, Italy and France. But we are also selling tickets in Australia, Mexico and Brazil.“
