The Respublika Park shopping center hosted the major BIKELAND 2025 motorcycle festival

BIKELAND 2025, one of this year’s largest motorcycle festivals, took place at Respublika Park shopping center, returning after a lengthy hiatus. Over May 24-25, the event brought together representatives from the motorcycle industry, professionals and enthusiasts, while offering a packed program for the whole family.

The festival kicked off with the traditional biker parade. Throughout the two days, guests had the opportunity to visit exhibitions from leading motorcycle brands—BMW, Honda, Harley-Davidson, and Yamaha—check out flagship models, chat with dealer representatives, and participate in equipment presentations.

The program included sporting and educational activities. The venue featured zones for the Ukrainian Road Racing Championship SBKUA, the GS CUP Ukraine Cup, as well as the “Tarasova Gora” motorcycle festival location. Visitors could take express lessons from motorcycle schools, test ride motorcycles during test drives, and participate in motoball competitions.

The musical highlight of the festival was headlined by the main act—the band “Zhadan i Sobaky” (Zhadan and the Dogs). Beyond the concert stage, guests enjoyed children’s zones and a gastronomic food court with diverse cuisine.

A special program element was the presentation of a cultural initiative—the creation of a Harley-Davidson museum in Irpin, a sister city to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the brand’s main factory is located. The announcement featured representatives from Irpin and actor-director Oleksandr Pikalov.

“We’re proud that Respublika Park became the venue for the legendary BIKELAND’s return. This festival proves that Ukraine’s motorcycle industry is alive, powerful, and has its own culture. It’s important for us to create events that inspire, unite, and benefit society,” noted Yulia Shchasliva, CEO of Respublika Park shopping center.

The event also served a charitable purpose — during the festival, organizers managed to raise over 800,000 hryvnias, which will be donated to support military rehabilitation through the charitable organization “Tytanivi Foundation” and the implementation of the “Path to Self” project.
