Vespa World Days 2024: A Global Celebration In Pontedera

Vespa World Days 2024 has come to a close, after the bustling town of Pontedera played host to the annual gathering that draws Vespa enthusiasts from around the globe.

Kicking off with the ribbon cutting at the Vespa Village and the unveiling of the “Vespa All Over the World” exhibition at the Piaggio Museum, the event commemorated both the iconic scooter’s legacy and Piaggio’s 140-year history.

The festivities commenced with the delivery of a special Vespa GTS to the State Police, which led the spectacular parade through Valdera on Saturday, April 20th. With participants hailing from Europe, North and South America, Asia, and beyond, the event showcased the global reach of Vespa fandom.

The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the Vespa Parade, where over 15,000 Vespas, spanning every era and model, formed a colourful line stretching over 16 kilometres. This monumental procession, earning a Guinness World Record, encapsulated the spirit of Vespa camaraderie.

As the event drew to a close, Pontedera bid farewell to over 20,000 Vespas and more than 30,000 enthusiasts representing 55 countries, an all-time record. The awards ceremony honoured participants in various competitions, and plans were set for Vespa World Days 2025, to be held in Gijón, Spain. With memories of Pontedera still fresh, Vespa enthusiasts worldwide eagerly anticipate the next chapter in this storied tradition.
