A road safety prayer parade was also held on Sunday, May 11th. The number of visitors on Sunday reached a record high.

Harley-Davidson’s big event, “BLUE SKY HEAVEN 2025,” held at Yamashita Pier in Yokohama, ended with great success. Approximately 14,000 people attended the event over the two days, with the highest attendance ever recorded on Sunday. The event transcended the boundaries of a motorcycle event to become an urban lifestyle festival, attracting a wide range of people, from Harley enthusiasts to music fans and families.

Thousands of bikes gathered! Many visitors from overseas

Although this year’s “Brusca” started with rain on Saturday morning, by the evening the motorcycle parking lot was nearly full, proving to be a great success. Thousands of motorcycles gathered from all over Japan as well as from overseas, including Korea and Taiwan. The number of visitors on Sunday, blessed with clear skies, reached a record high for the event, with a total of approximately 14,000 people attending over the two days.

In the vast venue of over 60,000 square meters overlooking Minato Mirai and Yokohama Bay Bridge, a variety of programs were held, starting with the exhibition of limited edition models. The event kicked off with the unveiling of the Fat Boy Grey Ghost, limited to 1,990 units worldwide, and all motorcycle-related programs, such as the Harley Stunt Show and Harley Test Rides, were hugely popular.

In addition, events were held that combined street culture such as skateboarding and 3-on-basketball, providing a variety of entertainment that went beyond the boundaries of bike culture.

A gathering of stellar artists and the “Rider Entertainer Kitchen” are popular

The live stage, which lit up the venue, brought together a stellar lineup of artists including m-flo, Yokoyama Ken (CRAZY KEN BAND) + DJ HASEBE Special Collaboration set, MINMI, kojikoji, Marty Friedman, and more. Both days were filled with excitement, providing a place where people could experience the fusion of music and bike culture.

Additionally, a shopping area was set up within the venue, featuring American casual wear and a selection of miscellaneous goods, with a wide range of products on display, from motorcycle goods to fashion items.

The food area was also well-stocked, with the “Rider Entertainer Kitchen” produced by motorcycle-loving comedians offering original menu items that delighted the palates of many visitors. The “Hamburger Festival,” where visitors could compare craft burgers from all over Japan, was also a huge hit, attracting many visitors who came for the gourmet experience.

Masato will also lead a parade to pray for traffic safety.

On the second day of the event, May 11th, the “Harley-Davidson Yokohama Safety Ride” was held, with former K-1 champion Masato at the front, to pray for the safety of riders on the roads. The parade from the venue to Yamashita Park Street attracted the attention of the roadside, conveying to many people the exhilaration and excitement of “group riding,” which is the true joy of Harley-Davidson.

With such a diverse program, many people commented that “one day is not enough to enjoy it all.” The organizers also commented, “We look forward to seeing you next time at an even more powerful BLUE SKY HEAVEN,” raising expectations for future developments.
