Harley-Davidson has confirmed that the biggest European gathering of Harley-Davidson fans will now take place at Lake Faak in Carinthia, Austria, from September 7-12, 2021. The news comes after the relaxation of restrictions in Austria in May following a continued downward trend in COVID-19 cases in the country, as well as progress in the vaccination program and easing of restrictions. The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, and the latest news comes after Austrian Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz promised to get "back to normality, freedom, and a normal life."
