The biker meeting of the Mediterranean
Late Summer Days is the major Harley-Davidson gathering on the Catalan coast, organized every year at the end of September at the port of Saint-Cyprien. Created in 2017 by the Chapter 66 Perpignan of the Harley Owners Group, in partnership with the Harley-Davidson 66 Perpignan dealership and the Saint-Cyprien town hall, this festival has quickly grown to become one of the major motorcycle events in the south of France.
Chrome, leather, and rock'n'roll
For three days, Quai Arthur Rimbaud transforms into a biker village where hundreds of gleaming Harley-Davidsons, from all over Europe, gather. The festival offers:
- Motorcycle exhibitions: Bike show, custom and new creation demonstrations
- Parades and rides: Harley-Davidson parades through Catalan villages
- Stunt demonstrations: Acrobatics and slow races
- Brand village: Stands for accessories, clothing, tattoos, jewelry, and a barber
Rock concerts by the sea
The evenings are enlivened by rock tribute concerts paying homage to the great iconic bands. Electric guitars and engine roars echo in perfect harmony, creating a unique atmosphere where biker culture and rock'n'roll merge under the Mediterranean sky.
A free and popular event
Admission to the festival is free, making it accessible to everyone, bikers and curious onlookers alike. Families are welcome to discover Harley-Davidson culture in a friendly and festive atmosphere.
