Holiday season kicks into high gear at the Harley-Davidson Museum

The Harley-Davidson Museum is taking back Black Friday and kicking off a holiday season with something to offer for everyone.

The Harley-Davidson Museum is a top destination in Milwaukee throughout the year, and the holiday season offers new reasons for riders and non-riders alike to put the Museum at the top of their list of places to visit. The festivities begin Nov. 23 with the Black Friday Beerfest and the Blazin’ Yuletide Ride, and continue into December with a special display with Arts@Large, breakfast with Santa and much more. 

 
The holiday season kicks off with Black Friday. Here are a few of the events planned for Harley-Davidson Museum's "Take Back Black Friday":

Blazin’ Yuletide Ride
4 p.m.
Forget the sleigh — Santa will be leading the second annual Blazin’ Yuletide Ride on a motorcycle! The ride begins and ends at the Museum, and guests can bring the family to watch this one-of-a-kind holiday spectacle. All motorcycle makes and models are welcome. Riders are invited to register their bikes online, where a portion of their registration fees will be donated to Arts@Large. The best decorated bike will also be awarded this year’s “Blazin’ Yule” trophy.
