Anniversary Celebrations

Beginning in 1993, Harley-Davidson has had celebratory rides to Milwaukee, which began with the 90th anniversary. They have called this the "Ride Home", with home referring to its birthplace. This new tradition has continued every 5 years, and is referred to un-officially as Harleyfest, in line with Milwaukee's other festivals (Summerfest, Germanfest, Festa Italiana, etc.).

The most recent event, The 105th began August 28th, and ran through August 31st.
