The announcement follows a record-breaking 2026 event, which coincided with Indian Motorcycle’s 125th anniversary. More than 4,800 people and almost 3,000 motorcycles travelled to the South Bohemia region, representing 46 countries and 84 Indian Motorcycle Riders Groups. Riders travelled from across Europe and as far away as Japan, underlining the increasingly international appeal of the event.
One of the highlights was the traditional Saturday Parade Ride, which marked the 125th anniversary with a 125km route through the Czech countryside. An estimated 1,000 to 1,200 motorcycles took part, creating a convoy stretching approximately 18 kilometres.
For 2027, the festival will adopt the theme ‘Ride The Legend’ and expand beyond its traditional lakeside base. New activities are planned at additional locations, including drag racing on an airfield, while a new road-book rally will allow visitors to explore some of South Bohemia’s best motorcycling roads.
The AMD-approved Budweis Custom Show will also return alongside the Indian Motorcycle Village, demo rides, stunt shows, Wall of Death and live music throughout the weekend. Tickets for Indian Riders Fest 2027 are already on sale through the event’s official website.
