HARLEY-Davidson will host Africa Bike Week in Margate, KwaZulu Natal from April 30 to May 3.

The event is set to attract more than 3 000 Harley-Davidson and other riders from all over the world and will include a line-up of attractions and activities to entertain both bikers and their families.  Riders can expect a jam-packed programme of events that will include the Harley-Davidson Village and Exhibition area, demonstrations and outrides, markets offering food and drinks, traders and after-market vendors, and a sandcastle competition for the kids. The weekend’s entertainment will be led by the Rockit Scientist, Leon Economides, with a live entertainment programme featuring rock bands such as Ghapi and Joe F, Clint & Co, and Cape Town-based band, One Day Remains. Non-stop street parties, VIP lounges and bars will keep guests rocking until the early hours of the morning. Riders will also be able to participate in the Harley-Davidson Custom Bike Show where there will be fantastic trophies for Best in Show and People’s Choice categories.
 
“Margate has shown, with the hosting over the past four years of the prestigious creative industry awards, that it can successfully host up to 5 000 delegates in comfort, and we are therefore extremely excited to host the Harley-Davidson Africa Bike Week event," says Michael Bertram, ceo of South Coast Tourism. The event will begin a few days earlier with riders touring up from the Western, Northern and Eastern Cape, Namibia, Free State, Mpumalanga and Gauteng.
