Tridays 2011

Tridays is the biggest Triumph festival in the world, held in the picturesque Austrian town of Neukirchen am Grossvenediger, which for three days each summer becomes the English town of "Newchurch"

There are many motorbike meets and each one wants to be different from the rest.  Often, the organisers’ success is only due to the make of motorcycle in question. Otherwise, much remains the same: a tent city, table dances, typical biker bands and lots of alcohol. But naturally, that’s not the case everywhere and that’s definitely not how it is in Neukirchen.

Aside from the underlying idea of the event – that Neukirchen transforms itself for 3 full days into the  “English” town of Newchurch – many other aspects are also different from elsewhere. An event with a family flavour in the middle of town.

At its heart, Tridays is no different than the Triumph fans themselves.  Classy, humorous and ambitious. All of the negative clichés typically associated with motorbike meets, never come to pass here in Newchurch, thank goodness.

And anyone who has ever attended the event just once, truly appreciates the open-heartedness and hospitality of the people of Neukirchen. The efforts of the organisers, especially of Uli Brée (the inventor of Tridays), Ingrid Maier-Schöppl (Executive Director of the Tourist Office) and Michael Nier (Triumph Germany) are primarily focused on maintaining the high standards in years to come. 

An ambitious programme of fringe events, moderate prices and authentic hospitality, all in the midst of truly wonderful scenery.
