ABOUT INDIAN RIDERS FEST
The world's largest gathering of Indian Motorcycle riders
WHERE THE LEGEND GATHERS
Indian Riders Fest was born in 2019 in Budweis (České Budějovice), Czech Republic — the first gathering of riders who live and breathe Indian Motorcycle®. That inaugural edition drew 419 riders; few there could have imagined how far the legend would travel.
The 2020 and 2021 events were postponed through the pandemic, but the community came back stronger. Returning to Budweis, the festival grew at a remarkable pace — over 3,000 riders from 39 nations by 2023, more than 3,750 by 2024.
In 2025, Indian Riders Fest marked its fifth edition by moving to its spectacular new home on the shores of Lipno nad Vltavou, welcoming 3,891 riders from 44 countries. In 2026 came the milestone of milestones — the 125th anniversary of Indian Motorcycle® — drawing nearly 5,000 participants from 46 countries.
From 419 riders to nearly 5,000, the story keeps growing. Now, in 2027, the seventh edition writes its next chapter. Ride the Legend.

WHAT MAKES IRF
THE PARADE
Up to 1,000 motorcycles in a single column stretching kilometres, escorted through the roads of South Bohemia — one of the great sights in motorcycling.
THE COMMUNITY
Riders from 46 countries, every Indian Motorcycle Riders Group, united by one brand and one shared passion. Come for the bikes, stay for the people.
THE LOCATION
Lipno nad Vltavou — a lakeside resort in the heart of South Bohemia that becomes the home of the legend every June.
"Some events are organised. Others create memories that stay with people for a lifetime. The Indian Riders Fest belongs to the second category.
You have created a place where riders from different countries, cultures and backgrounds come together as one family — connected by a shared passion for Indian Motorcycle® and the spirit of the open road.
Thank you for giving our Indian Motorcycle family a place to call home every year."
