Ireland Bike Fest for June Bank Holiday Weekend

ALL roads lead to Killarney this June Bank Holiday weekend as Ireland Bike Fest rumbles into town for its eight consecutive year.

Over 40,000 people are expected to converge on the town for the motorcycle and music extravaganza that takes place from May 30 to June 2.

It is Ireland’s only free, open biker festival meaning every make and model of motorbike imaginable along with their owners are welcome to attend.

The festival headquarters, located at The Gleneagle Hotel, will once again be the main hub of activity.

Here you will find The Bike Village, featuring trader stands with specialised biker gear and more, along with plenty places to eat, grab a drink and listen to the live bands and DJs.

Visitors do not even have to own a bike, they can just bask in the glory of some slick, well-built machines and enjoy the unique party and festival atmosphere of Ireland Bike Fest.

Highlights include daily ride outs around famous touring routes including the Dingle Peninsula, Ring of Kerry and Wild Atlantic Way.

The Wild Atlantic Way will hear the hum of bikes before, during and after the festival as many bikers plan to take in sections of the long distance route as part of their trip to Ireland Bike Fest.

Three days, three stages and tons of free live music may leave your wheels feeling a little neglected. For a bit of rocking al fresco there’s the Outdoor Stage located at the heart of the Bike Village, the favourite Chapters’ haunt at The Harley Bar and the Main Stage in The Gleneagle Hotel which is where you can rock on late into the night.

The parade through the streets of Killarney in aid of Muscular Dystrophy Ireland will once again take place on the Sunday and there will also be the opportunity to win a Harley-Davidson in the raffle in aid of Muscular Dystrophy Ireland.
