Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary Celebration

The Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary Celebration will probably prove to be one of the rowdier festivals on the Milwaukee lakefront -- and elsewhere throughout the city. During this stretch in August it's never uncommon to hear the rumble of a Harley (or maybe ten of them), no matter what time of day, or night, it is. With the new Harley-Davidson Museum now open to the public, this year is certainly not going to be an exception.

Unlike most of the other festivals, the Harley-Davidson lakefront party is part of a much bigger picture. Harleyfest is the capstone of an annual pilgrimage to Milwaukee -- and getting here is half the fun for many participants.

Here is day-to-day line-up for some "official" parties around town. Keep in mind, however, that there are many other affiliated events happening around the city from Wednesday, August 28 - Sunday, August 31.
