40th Biker Fest International - Europe’s largest motorcycle rally
May 14 to 17, 2026, Lignano Sabbiadoro (Udine - Italy)
Following the extraordinary success of the 2025 show, which recorded 265,000 attendees over the course of the weekend, Biker Fest International once again confirms its status as the biggest motorcycle rally in Europe and the third largest event of this kind in the world - after the legendary U.S. rallies of Sturgis and Daytona.

Founded in 1987 within the biker movement, the event has gradually expanded to embrace the world of two wheels in all its forms, while maintaining a strong connection to its rebellious roots in the custom culture.
The beating heart of the festival is its Custom Bike Show, one of the longest running in Europe. Since its inception it has anticipated customization trends by showcasing some of the most spectacular special bikes built by leading international customizers.
As the only Italian AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building Approved Cuatom Bike Show, the Lignano round also serves as the final of Italy’s national championship for custom builders - the Italian Motorcycle Championship (IMC).

Alongside the well-established rock music program, all the areas that have made BFI unique will be staged again – these include Europe’s largest and most comprehensive Demo Ride hub, featuring the official participation of leading motorcycle manufacturers; the e-Mobility Village, dedicated to new mobility solutions; the Off Road area with its spectacular dirt riding shows; and the Market Area.
Among the main new features already announced for this special anniversary are the Sisterhood Run, an on-the-road experience dedicated to female riders, and the Customizer’s Parade, in which custom builders themselves will lead the much-anticipated Saturday Night Fever, riding their one-off creations.
