European Bike Week - Harley Parade

European Bike Week at Lake Faaker See is one of the most famous motorcycle rallies in the world. Held every September, it’s free and open to everyone—a true mecca for Harley-Davidson fans.

Every year, the event draws hundreds of thousands of motorcycle fans of all brands and “styles” to the turquoise-blue Lake Faaker See in Carinthia, Austria. With a wide range of daytime and evening entertainment, free test rides on the latest Harley-Davidson motorcycles, motorcycle exhibitions, food and drinks, shopping, and much more, variety is guaranteed.

The traditional highlight of European Bike Week is Europe’s largest Harley parade on Saturday, September 12, 2026. The route goes from Lake Faaker See via Finkenstein, through downtown Villach, on to Lake Ossiacher See, and back to Faak am See via Wernberg and Rosegg. The official start of the parade is at 12 noon.
