Indian Motorcycle confirms 2027 Indian Riders Fest dates after record attendance
Indian Motorcycle has confirmed the Indian Riders Fest will return in June 2027 following this year’s record attendance.
Following a record attendance at this year’s event, Indian Motorcycle has already revealed details about the 2027 Indian Riders Fest, including dates and location.
The four-day event takes place from 17-20 June, in Lipno nad Vltavou, which is located in the South Bohemia region of the Czech Republic.
It will feature live entertainment every evening and plenty of riding opportunities, while custom bikes will also be on display as part of the AMD-Approved Budweis Custom Show.
This is the only international custom bike show exclusively dedicated to the American motorcycle maker.
Full details for the 2027 event have not yet been confirmed, however, Indian Motorcycle says visitors can expect the festival to include a drag strip on an airfield.
The public can also expect to see various stunt shows and the company’s latest models, with demo rides available.
Christophe Thevenet, Director of International Sales for Indian Motorcycle, said this about next year’s event:
“The growth of the IRF has been impressive, and it has become a highlight of the event calendar outside of North America. It’s the riders that make everything possible, and it’s been a real privilege to meet and thank people from so many countries during this special year for Indian Motorcycle.
“Alongside Jean-Marie and his team, we’re delighted to confirm the event for 2027 and look forward to working with Legendary Productions to create an even better experience for everyone next year.”
The 2027 IRF festival will have big shoes to fill after this year’s record attendance. More than 4,800 people aboard nearly 3,000 motorcycles made their way to the Czech Republic to celebrate Indian Motorcycle’s 125th anniversary.
In total, 46 countries and 84 Indian Motorcycle Riders Groups (IMRG) were represented, reinforcing the IRF’s status as one of Indian Motorcycle’s biggest events.
Jean-Marie Guyon, Event Manager for Legendary Productions, added:
“Thank you to everyone who made the IRF26 such a success. Every year, we look at how we can create the best Indian Motorcycle event in the world, and I’m very proud of what we achieved this year. From just 419 riders in 2019 to nearly 5,000 this year, we’re already hard at work preparing for IRF27 to ensure we deliver the biggest and best event possible.”
