Milwaukee, April 4—With more than 114 years of history tied to Milwaukee, Harley-Davidson has been an integral part of 
the city’s fabric since Serial No. 1 rolled out of the Davidson family shed in 1903. We’re proud to call Milwaukee our hometown. And come this Milwaukee Day (4/14), the Harley-Davidson Museum campus will be the epicenter for all your Brewtown festivities as we look to say “Thank You!” to the city we love.
But there’s no need to wait until 4/14 to learn more about Milwaukee’s most iconic export.
Events
Milwaukee Day Bike Night
MOTOR Bar & Restaurant at the Harley-Davidson Museum
Thursday, April 13, 5-9 p.m.
Kick off the Milwaukee Day holiday weekend with a Brewtown-themed Bike Night at MOTOR Bar & Restaurant. After you spend some time learning about Milwaukee’s most iconic export (the H-D Museum is open until 8 p.m.), mosey over to MOTOR for live music from the Mark Croft Duo. Of course, it wouldn’t be Bike Night without stellar food & drink specials, such as $3 beers with your Bike Night koozie. It’s our last indoor Bike Night before we move the party outdoors next month, so you know we’re itching to raffle off unique Harley-Davidson merchandise that will get you ready for the riding season. Tonight begins our campus-wide celebration of Milwaukee Day (4/14) as we honor the city we love and the city Harley-Davidson has called home for more than 114 years! For full Milwaukee Day details, see below.
