Moto Craft Evolves into Large-Scale Celebration of Motorcycle Culture

Kicking off its first year in 2024, the Moto Craft show assembled a truly exceptional collection of custom and vintage motorcycles, many of which were shockingly rare or one-of-a-kind works of art. Collaborating with the world-renowned Haas Moto Museum once again, the plans for this year’s event up the ante from a boutique bike show to a weekend-long festival experience. Judging by the grand plans in place, it appears that organizers are looking to transform Moto Craft, which runs from August 1-3, into the NXNE of motorcycles.

Hosted at Base31 in Picton, Ont., the 750-acre WWII-era air base will be transformed into a destination for everything a motorcycle enthusiast could ever want: custom and vintage bike displays, demo rides and demonstrations, films curated by the Motorcycle Film Festival, art exhibits, a vendor village, beer tents, live music, guided tours, racing, and even an adventure rally. There will even be off-road challenges with dirt trails onsite and amateur drag races.

Attendees can try before they buy, with BMW Motorad, Ducati, and Husqvarna offering demo rides of new motorcycles. They can also choose to take their own bike on one of the scenic on-road or off-road adventure routes curated by Canada Rides.

This celebration of two-wheeled culture will last all weekend long, offering festivalgoers the opportunity to camp overnight in a tent or an RV. In addition to being close to the action, campers will also benefit from early access and special discounts.

Jay Malinowski of Bedouin Soundclash will be performing Friday night, while the prime-minister-approved indie-pop band Down With Webster taking the stage Saturday.

Single day or weekend pass tickets are available with the ability to add-on various activities. For tickets, the full schedule, and more information, visit MotoCraftShow.com.
