Hamburg Harley Days

Europe's Largest Biker City Event

For over two decades, the Hamburg Harley Days have drawn tens of thousands of bikers and onlookers to the Hanseatic city at the end of June. The organizer is the Bergmann Gruppe, which has long been rooted as a Harley-Davidson dealer in Hamburg. The event has been one of Europe's largest Harley-Davidson gatherings for years — a meeting point for brand enthusiasts, custom bike fans, and Reeperbahn fans all at once.

Two Locations in the City

The festival takes place at two locations:

• Hamburger Großmarkt (Banksstraße 28, Hammerbrook) — 40,000 square meters of main grounds with main stage, custom bike show, dealer areas, and food stalls
• Spielbudenplatz on St. Pauli — side stage and bike parking areas directly on the Reeperbahn, perfect for watching and being seen

Program

• Welcome Party on Friday evening
• Main Stage Concerts Friday to Sunday with rock, blues, and country bands
• Custom Bike Show on Saturday — a showcase of the most beautiful custom builds
• Biker Parade on Sunday — the traditional highlight: thousands of machines ride through Hamburg
• Dealer stands, test rides, street food, and cocktails at both locations

Admission and Access

Admission is generally subject to a fee (day tickets and weekend tickets), but with generous special rules:

• Children and young people under 18 years old — free
• Companion for severely disabled persons (designation B) — free
• Sunday — Free admission for everyone

St. Pauli — The Natural Harbor for Bikers

The Spielbudenplatz on St. Pauli, opposite Davidstraße and a few steps from the Reeperbahn, has always been a meeting point for Hamburg's subculture and rocker scene. The mix of harbor flair, Kiez atmosphere, and free parking for motorcycles makes the location a firm fixture of the Harley Days.

Traffic and Logistics

A special feature: there are no car parking spaces at the main grounds at Großmarkt. Arrival is by public transport (U1 Steinstraße, S3/S31 Hammerbrook City Süd, Bus 3) or by your own bike. Those who bring their motorcycle can park it safely in special areas (10 Euros per night).
