Dates Confirmed for Indian Riders Fest 2027 After Successful 125th Anniversary Celebration.
Indian Motorcycle has confirmed its continued support for the Indian Riders Fest following the event’s most successful edition yet, as event organiser Legendary Productions confirms the dates for Indian Riders Fest 2027 (IRF27).
The largest gathering of Indian Motorcycle riders in the world, the seventh edition of IRF will return to beautiful Lipno nad Vltavou, on the shores of the largest lake in the Czech Republic, from 17–20 June 2027, delivering four unforgettable days of riding, entertainment, custom culture and community spirit.
This year’s event saw record attendance to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Indian Motorcycle, transforming the picturesque lakeside venue into a global meeting point for riders from across Europe and beyond. With riders from all corners of the continent and as far away as Japan, more than 4,800 attendees on nearly 3,000 motorcycles made the journey to the beautiful South Bohemia region. In total, 46 countries and 84 Indian Motorcycle Riders Groups (IMRG) were represented, cementing the IRF as a premier event for international riders of Indian Motorcycle.
A tradition since the very first IRF, the Saturday Parade Ride saw the longest parade yet, taking a symbolic 125 km journey to honour the brand’s founders. The impressive convoy, estimated at between 1,000 and 1,200 motorcycles, formed an 18-km-long moving spectacle, delighting onlookers along the route and, thanks to close coordination with the police and local authorities, the massive procession moved seamlessly through the picturesque South Bohemian landscape.
“Thank you to everyone who made the IRF26 such a success,” said Jean-Marie Guyon, Event Manager for Legendary Productions. “Every year, we look at how we can create the best Indian Motorcycle event in the world, and I’m very proud of what we achieved this year. From just 419 riders in 2019 to nearly 5,000 this year, we’re already hard at work preparing for IRF27 to ensure we deliver the biggest and best event possible.”
“The growth of the IRF has been impressive, and it has become a highlight of the event calendar outside of North America,” said Christophe Thevenet, Director of International Sales for Indian Motorcycle. “It’s the riders that make everything possible, and it’s been a real privilege to meet and thank people from so many countries during this special year for Indian Motorcycle. Alongside Jean-Marie and his team, we’re delighted to confirm the event for 2027 and look forward to working with Legendary Productions to create an even better experience for everyone next year.”
The theme for 2027 is RIDE THE LEGEND, which turns heritage into horsepower. More than a theme, it’s an invitation to get in the saddle and take on everything that makes Indian Motorcycle legendary on more roads than ever before. For the first time, the festival breaks beyond the shores of Lipno nad Vltavou and, while the full details are yet to be revealed, expect adrenaline at new locations, including a drag strip on an airfield.
Helping riders to make the most of the incredible motorcycling on offer in South Bohemia, a new festival rally invites them to discover the region’s most beautiful roads at their own pace through a curated road-book ride, turning the whole landscape into a playground.
In addition, a regular fixture of the IRF, the AMD-Approved Budweis Custom Show – the only international custom bike show exclusively dedicated to Indian Motorcycle – will again provide a showcase for the creativity of European custom bike builders and Indian Motorcycle dealers.
IRF27 will offer the ultimate celebration of Indian Motorcycle culture, with incredible bikes, an expo and the vibrant Indian Motorcycle Village, featuring live concerts every evening, the thrill of the Parade Ride with thousands of Indian Motorcycle riders, the adrenaline of the Wall of Death, legendary stunt shows and Demo Rides on the latest Indian Motorcycle models.
