Seeking Adventure: the Jeep® / Harley-Davidson® 2026 Program
More than a partnership between two iconic brands, the Jeep and Harley-Davidson collaboration celebrates a shared lifestyle shaped by freedom, adventure, authenticity and passion.

From Italy's Adriatic coast to Portugal's Atlantic shores and Austria's Alpine landscapes, each gathering turned the freedom to travel into a shared adventure, creating authentic connections and lasting memories.

All events were organized by Harley-Davidson and the Jeep Community, promoted through social media, and supported by both brands in partnership with local dealers.

Additional gatherings are planned for autumn and winter, including the International Ladies of Harley event in Pescara (3 October) and the H.O.G. Winter Meeting in Genoa (28 November).

To date, the Jeep® and Harley-Davidson® 2026 European program has brought together up to 200.000 participants, creating a unique platform for riders, Jeep owners and outdoor enthusiasts to share their passion for adventure and authentic experiences.
