Indian Motorcycle and the Indian Riders Fest (IRF) are pleased to announce the opening of ticket sales for the June 19-22, 2025 edition with discounted pricing available until October 31, 2024. The theme for IRF25 has been revealed as ‘On The Road Again’ to encapsulate the adventurous spirit of the riders as well as the relocation to a larger site on the stunning lakeside at Lipno nad Vltavou in the South Bohemia region of the Czech Republic.
Since its inception in 2019, the IRF has seen rapid growth and heads into its fifth anniversary edition building on the success of 2024 where over 3750 riders and enthusiasts from 39 nationalities brought their passion, energy, and love for Indian Motorcycle to the city of České Budějovice (Budweis), Czech Republic.
With this rapid growth, the festival has relocated to Lipno nad Vltavou, a popular summer resort location, that not only has a breathtaking lakeside setting and access to incredible roads amidst the Bohemian Forest and Šumava National Park, but offers a vast assortment of accommodation options, from camping to four-star hotels, all within a kilometre radius of the festival ground.
Running over the long weekend of June 19-22, 2025, Indian Riders Fest promises another memorable gathering against the scenic backdrop of Lipno Reservoir packed with riding, parties, gastronomic delights, music, as well as the evolution of the renowned Budweis Custom Show (BCS). BCS is the only show globally that solely features Indian Motorcycle customs with input from Ola Stenegärd, Indian Motorcycle’s Director of Product Design. The BCS proudly carries the AMD 2025-approved custom show accolade and promises an even more creative and inspiring showcase next year.
