“We are delighted to renew our partnership with Jean-Marie and the IRF team for Indian Riders Fest for 2024,” says Grant Bester, international vice president for Indian Motorcycle. “Indian Motorcycle has always been committed to the riding community, and the IRF is not just a celebration of our motorcycles but also highlights the dedication of our riders. The rapid evolution of the IRF since 2019 is a testament to the team and as the major event on the international calendar, it allows us to connect with owners at a deeper level. After the hugely enjoyable time I had at the 2023 event, I cannot wait to meet, and ride, with everyone in Budweis again next year.”

Jean-Marie Guyon, organizer of the IRF, comments, “I am thrilled at this renewed commitment from Indian Motorcycle. It marks another exciting chapter in our ongoing collaboration. We look forward to taking IRF24 to new heights and creating unforgettable moments for the Indian Motorcycle community. Indian Motorcycle and the IRF team are eagerly anticipating the event and invite motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the globe to come and be part of this extraordinary event. With our theme of ‘Back In Time,’ we’ll take you on a nostalgic journey back to an era filled with music and freedom, a time before social media dominated our lives. Let’s make memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.”

Alongside a variety of food and retail stalls, festival goers will be thrilled with heart-stopping performances from the Wall of Death, fearless stunt riders, live concerts, a genuine Indian Motorcycle apparel shop, the Indian Motorcycle Roadshow truck offering test rides on the latest models, and much more.
