Alderman José G. Pérez: Statement on Harley-Davidson anniversary

Welcome those celebrating Harley-Davidson 115^th anniversary

Statement of Alderman José G. Pérez

I want to offer a proud and hearty “Welcome!” to everyone participating in this coming weekend’s 115^th anniversary celebration for Harley-Davidson. The diverse thundering herd of Harley enthusiasts converging on Milwaukee – including thousands of visitors from across the U.S. and the world – is exciting to behold and truly enriches our great city and the region.

While in Milwaukee I strongly encourage our visitors to make sure they stop in at the Harley-Davidson Museum, located in the 12^th District at S. 6^th and W. Canal Streets, and also make sure to stop in for some food and/or beverages at one of the great establishments in Walker’s Point or the 5^th Ward.

Lastly, I urge everyone to drive safely and to share the road with motorcycles! Please use defensive driving and every safe driving protocol at all times.

Let’s make the 115^th the safest and most successful Harley-Davidson anniversary celebration ever!
