Harley-Davidson has confirmed its plans for the 32nd edition of the European H.O.G Rally, which is one of the brand’s most popular European events. 

The three-day event is set to take place later this month on 18-21 June, and is the next European event planned after the Ireland Bike Festival concluded on Sunday, 31 May. 

The European H.O.G Rally is the company’s fourth major event in this part of the world so far in 2026, after opening the season with the European Spring Rally in Senigallia, Italy.

An appearance at the Bike Shed Moto Show in London followed, prior to last week’s Ireland Bike Festival in Killarney.

The H.O.G Rally moves location each year, however, it’s returning to Cascais for the first time since 2019, which is located close to Portugal’s capital, Lisbon.

Like many other Harley-Davidson events, viewing the brand’s new motorcycle range is likely to be one of the main attractions. Harley says the European H.O.G Rally will allow attendees to get a taste of the company’s new bikes through test ride opportunities. 

Beyond that, Harley-Davidson says it will, together with the Harley Owners Group, be putting together an action-packed list of activities that also includes live music.

The European H.O.G Rally will be followed by the ABR Festival, where Harley will be one of the many brands in attendance.

From there, the list of UK and European events continues with the Bagger World Cup heading to Silverstone at the start of August as part of the British MotoGP.

Harley-Davidson will then take centre stage in September with the European Bike Week in Lake Faak, Austria, before wrapping things up with an appearance at MCL26.
