Harley-Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz revealed the dates for the motorcycle company’s next annual festival at a panel on Saturday.

The 2024 Homecoming Festival will take place on July 25 to 28, according to the company’s Public Relations Manager Paul James. Zeitz announced the dates on a panel for this year's festival at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee.

Earlier this month, Zeitz told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he remains committed to hosting an annual party to celebrate the motorcycle company and its history in Milwaukee.

"It's the roots of where we're from," Zeitz said. "And why wouldn't you celebrate, every year, the greatest motorcycle company in the world?"
