ABOUT THE PROJECT

How do you honour a legend and inspire new riders?

Harley-Davidson’s 120th Anniversary demanded an event that embodied its unfiltered spirit of freedom and rebellion. Imagination created United We Ride, a 20,000+ sqm festival blending roaring parades, live rock performances, and interactive experiences. The result? A rally that transcended tradition, uniting 1,000+ riders from 40 H.O.G. chapters and cementing Harley-Davidson’s legacy as a cultural icon.

THE OUTCOME

A festival of freedom

The United We Ride theme became the rallying cry, blending Harley-Davidson’s heritage with modern festival energy. Graffiti-inspired visuals, neon lighting, and rugged design elements captured the brand’s fearless identity.

The Grand Parade: More than a ride

Over 1,000 riders from 40 H.O.G chapters embarked on a 60km parade through Chang Bai Shan, transforming it into a “spiritual carnival.” The route celebrated camaraderie, freedom, and Harley’s 120-year legacy.

Rock, fireworks, and brotherhood

A live performance by Twisted Machine, fireworks, and interactive campsite activities turned the rally into a full-scale festival. Custom merchandise, so popular riders redesigned it themselves, deepened emotional connections.

Legacy meets modern rebellion

The event showcased 11 iconic 100th-anniversary bikes and 13 custom builds, bridging generations of riders. A rare display of vintage and modern models highlighted Harley’s timeless appeal.
