Motorcycle festivals scheduled for Setouchi region in 2026

Two major motorcycle-themed events are scheduled to take place in the Setouchi region of Japan in late 2026.

Harley-Davidson Japan will host the ‘BLUE SKY MEETING Hiroshima Fukuyama’ on November 3, 2026, at the Ashitagawa Kawamachi Plaza in Fukuyama City. This marks the first time the event will be held in the Chugoku and Shikoku areas. The free admission event will feature displays of hundreds of motorcycles, test rides of 2026 models, and custom bike exhibitions. The festival also aims to integrate local culture through food booths serving regional specialties like Fuchu-yaki and Tai-meshi, alongside performances by local dance groups.

Additionally, the JB Honshi Kousoku Group will hold the ‘Setouchi Bike Festa 2026 in Yoshima’ on October 25, 2026, at the Yoshima Parking Area on the Seto Chuo Expressway. The event includes demonstrations by the Kagawa Prefectural Police motorcycle unit, motorcycle test rides, and approximately 80 booths featuring corporate PR, local products, and food. A family-oriented ‘Customer Appreciation Day’ will also be held simultaneously at the site, featuring vehicle displays and various activities.
