York Motorcycle Festival 2024
The 2024 York Motorcycle Festival is scheduled for the weekend April 6 & 7, and as always is set to attract huge crowds to the West Australian country town of York.
The York Motorcycle Festival was launched in 2012 as a small activity surrounding a charity ride. The first event included a handful of trade displays, a small show and shine, and the charity ride from Midland to York.
Now the York Motorcycle Festival is the biggest motorbike event in Western Australia, attracting visitors from across the country, and featuring a full line-up of activity and attractions.
The York Motorcycle Festival is a free and family friendly event. The main roads within the town are closed to traffic and filled with trade stalls, motorcycle displays, food trucks and a huge stunt track. The event includes a Show and Shine inside the York Town Hall, FMX stunts and Harley-Davidson stunt riders, Super Moto demos, live music and plenty of bikes on display.
New this year is new activity in “Harley-Davidson Park” in Avon Park, presented by VCM Events Perth, which will include the 2024 York Motorcycle Festival launch party on Saturday 6th April from 5pm.
The York Motorcycle Festival is also proud to present the Harley-Davidson concert on Saturday night and supports the Black Dog Ride on the Sunday morning.

The York Motorcycle Festival is pleased to again be supporting Black Dog Ride. Black Dog Ride began in 2009 as a ride to raise awareness of depression, evolving into a national charity involving thousands of Australians who have raised millions for mental health programs and fostered mental health awareness around the nation.
