Ireland BikeFest Killarney Roars into Action This Weekend

Ireland BikeFest Killarney roars back into action this weekend. The free open festival is one of Europe’s most anticipated biking events, drawing thousands of bikers and visitors to the purpose-built Bike Village at Gleneagle in the heart of Kerry.

With just hours to go, the Bike Village is already coming alive with traders, food stalls, merchandise stands, the Harley-Davidson Experiential Zone and free live entertainment. From the high-energy atmosphere of the Harley Bar to the laid-back acoustic vibes of the Biker Lounge, the festival has something for bikers and non-bikers alike.

This year’s live music line-up features a packed schedule across three stages, including performances from QWEEN, Live Lizzy, Joanovarc, Hells Bells, Bon Jovee, Cliona Hagan, Devils Cadillac, The Harleys, and many more, with DJs spinning late into the night.

Bikers can take part in stunning guided ride-outs along the Wild Atlantic Way, with routes including the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula, marshalled by H.O.G. UK & Ireland chapters. Sunday’s legendary Bike Parade will roll through Killarney town, led by Irish country music star and lifelong biker Jimmy Buckley as Grand Marshal.

Also on Sunday, the iconic Custom Bike Show returns, showcasing the very best in custom builds. A new autism-friendly hour will run from 1pm to 2pm, offering reduced sound and lighting for a more relaxed experience.

On-site parking is for motorcycles and Gleneagle or Brehon residents only. All other festivalgoers are encouraged to walk or take advantage of the free shuttle bus.

Open to all, Ireland BikeFest is more than a biker rally – it’s a celebration of community, music and serious two-wheeled passion. Don’t miss your chance to enter the Win a Harley-Davidson® Raffle, supporting Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Ireland BikeFest Killarney is proudly supported by Harley-Davidson® UK & Ireland, Gleneagle, Fáilte Ireland, Destination Killarney, Kerry County Council and Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce.
