Waterford Motorcyle Fest 2012

Wednesday, 18th July 2012

This weekend coming 20th to 22nd July Freewheelers MC Ireland in conjunction with Waterford Harley Davidson, will bring something to Waterford that has never seen before. Waterford Motorcyle Fest 2012 celebrating custom bike building, live music and the motorcycle lifestyle.

This event will be the first of its kind in the Republic of Ireland and promises to give the public a look at some of the bikes in the flesh that normally can only be seen on TV or across the web and magazines.

A major part of this event will be the charity "Boobs and Balls" road trip that last year raised a whooping €23000 for The Solas Centre.

The Run will arrive in John Roberts' Square Saturday 21st at 2pm so if you see any of our Solas Centre volunteers please dig deep, a little help goes a long way.

Sponsorship cards are available at Waterford Harley-Davidson for anyone who should want to buy a line or take part in the Road Trip.

The Unusual Suspects will have John Roberts' Square rocking on Saturday afternoon from 2.30pm to 4.30pm.

The Custom Bike Show will take place on Saturday 21st at Mid-day until 5pm when prize giving will commence and there will be a handover of monies raised for Solas Centre.

Lifestyle Trader Stalls will be set up in Jenkins' Lane carpark all day Saturday.

Live entertainment for the weekend starts Friday 20th in pubs and venues across the city. Taking in local and national talent in the form of :

The Rusty Fixtures at The Gingerman,
