Harley-Davidson Museum to host Milwaukee Day event on Sunday
This Sunday, the world’s only Harley-Davidson Museum will host the 4/14 Day party to celebrate Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The legendary story of Harley-Davidson could not be told without the support of “Mil-town,” and the H-D Museum campus will celebrate the city that the company has called home for more than 120 years.
Harley-Davidson invites all to celebrate the stories of its employees, dealers and enthusiasts who have made Milwaukee Iron the city’s number-one export. Milwaukee’s area code is 414 and the museum offers an exclusive 414 deal where 414 people can buy admission tickets for $4.14 to see the museum on Sunday. Attendees can test their Milwaukee history bona fides with trivia from Quizmaster and giveaway winners will go home with tickets to Harley-Davidson Homecoming, Milwaukee Brewers games, the Wisconsin State Fair, Milwaukee Admirals games and Summerfest.
From MOTOR Bar & Restaurant, Chef Doug Stringer has enlisted the help of local purveyors and butchers to highlight the unique culinary menus of Milwaukee. Bratwursts, stuffed pretzels, sauerbraten wings and even a jumbo “dream puff” will have guests singing a song of gemütlichkeit. The famed 4.14-pound burger eating contest will take place after the official city toast of 414 Day at 4:14 p.m.
At the H-D Shop, attendees can purchase four products and receive 14 percent off and the H-D Factory Outlet will offer limited-edition hats for $4.14. Skin Museum tattoo artists will be on hand to lay some fresh ink.
