World Ducati Week 2024 is “All In One”: the pure essence of motorcycling in the biggest gathering for enthusiasts from all over the world.

The 12th edition of World Ducati Week, to be held from 26 to 28 July 2024 at the Misano World Circuit, was presented during a press conference held inside the Ducati Auditorium in Borgo Panigale.

“All In One” is the message with which this 2024 edition of World Ducati Week opens. A slogan that summarises the intention of the Bologna-based manufacturer to build  a great event in which to concentrate all the essence of passion for motorcycling and motorsport. They will be three unforgettable days, able to combine racing DNA, riding experiences, life stories, premieres of new products, moments of fun, motorcycle parades, evening events, meet-and-greet sessions with the riders and many other initiatives.

Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO:  “The World Ducati Week is an unparalleled experience for motorcycling fans: an event to be lived at least once in a lifetime, only to find out that you can not live without it. This year’s will be the twelfth edition, and from the very first moment we worked with the idea of offering participants the best WDW ever. The ingredients are all there, starting with the news of La Notte dei Campioni on Saturday. An evening that promises unforgettable emotions with Ducati riders putting on a show during the Lenovo Race of Champions and immediately afterwards the chance for everyone to have fun on the track sharing a common passion. I am looking forward to meeting up again with thousands of fans at the Misano Circuit to celebrate the love for Ducati all together.”

The World Ducati Week is a great party capable of attracting people from every corner of the planet, who arrive in Italy driven by the euphoria of celebrating their passion for the world of two wheels and for the Red Bikes of Borgo Panigale. It is an event truly open to everyone, with a program of tailor-made activities to accommodate a vast audience, which includes individuals of all nationalities, ages, genders and personalities.
