Ireland BikeFest 2024
Cruising, chrome and cracking good weather, Ireland BikeFest was the place to be across the June Bank Holiday weekend.
Over 50,000 visitors passed through the purpose-built Bike Village at The Gleneagle Hotel over the June bank holiday weekend making this, the 16th festival, the biggest yet. Visitors travelled from as far afield as South Africa and the US as well as from right across the UK and mainland Europe.
“We are delighted to report that Ireland BikeFest 2024 was a resounding success,” said Shane O’Driscoll, Festival Director of Ireland BikeFest. “It contributed to a bumper weekend for the whole of Kerry and further afield.”
“A special thank you to all of the organisations, sponsors, suppliers, food vendors and volunteers for your support and hard work in custom-building the only festival of its kind in Ireland. It certainly takes a lot of people to fuel a gathering like this, so a special thank you to Harley-Davidson® UK and Ireland, Fáilte Ireland, The Gleneagle Hotel, Destination Killarney Ltd., Kerry County Council, Waterford Harley-Davidson®, Dublin Harley-Davidson®, Celtic Thunder Chapter Ireland, Gaelic Chapter Ireland, Belfast Chapter Northern Ireland, An Garda Síochána Killarney, Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce and all Killarney’s local businesses.”
Joy Quinn from county Galway was the lucky winner of the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind raffle to win a Harley-Davidson Sportster XL883C PRL.
“Thank you to the big-hearted bikers and aspiring bikers who bought raffle tickets and made donations to support our work. We raised over €21,000 which will go towards the training of our incredible dogs. Thank you also to our dedicated volunteers and the festival organisers for your support,” said Chris Bennett, Regional Development Officer with Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Save the date for the 17th Ireland BikeFest scheduled for next year’s June bank holiday weekend May 30 to June 1, 2025.
