Harley-Davidson Museum Celebrates Summer With New Exhibit, Concerts

Warm Weather Fun

Summer is always a big deal for the Harley-Davidson Museum, chiefly because it means that the weather is going to be perfect for getting outside and enjoying this hobby of ours. As such, the museum always hosts a ton of special events throughout the warm weather season, and 2023 will certainly be no exception.

Mama Tried Exhibit

First up, we have the Mama-Tried Motorcycle Show, which contains 13 custom bikes representative of what one might see if they went to that particular event, a nice mix of fully restored vintage bikes to full-blown modern customs starting June 17.

Live Music

As one might imagine, Harley hosted its annual Mother's Day event already, giving moms free admission for the weekend, along with special deals and brunch. Moving forward, the Bike Night concert series offers up live music each Thursday all the way through September, too.

New Festival

July 13-16 is an even bigger deal, of course, thanks to Harley-Davidson's 120th-anniversary celebration. To celebrate, the museum will launch Harley-Davidson Homecoming, which is a four-day annual festival with food, music, and all sorts of motorcycle culture to soak in.

Experience Gallery

In addition to these goodies, visitors to the Harley-Davidson Museum can check out the newly revitalized Experience Gallery, highlighting inspiring stories from riders who have turned their dream of learning to ride into reality, take a look at the epic journeys you can experience, and get the chance to throw a leg over a new Harley-Davidson Freedom Machine.

In addition to all of that, visitors can check out the Harley-Davidson Factory Outlet sale June 1-4, enjoy BBQ & Blues every Saturday, participate in demo rides, celebrate Father's Day with some special experiences, and participate in a number of rallies such as the vintage-focused Wild Ones, which takes place Saturday, June 24.
