It is this Sunday, April 7th, that Vila Verde hosts the celebrations of the National Motorcycle Day.
Since 1997, the Portuguese Motorcycle Federation has been promoting the National Motorcycle Day, which has been held annually throughout the country since then, with its celebration only interrupted in 2020 and 2021, due to the pandemic.
Therefore, this is the 26th edition of the National Motorcycle Day and, after Chaves in 2023, the celebration returns to the north of the country this Sunday, April 7th, this time in Vila Verde, Braga, with logistics being handled by the Moto Club de Prado.
The entertainment begins the day before, with the reception of the motorcyclists taking place with a musical show starting at 10:00 pm, but the National Motorcycle Day program takes place from 11:00 am on Sunday, with a toast to the representatives of the motorcycle clubs present. The celebrations begin at 2:00 pm at the Campo da Feira in Vila Verde, with the procession in honor of the patron saint of motorcyclists, Saint Raphael, and the usual presence of the GNR’s Horse Band. The liturgical ceremony, presided over by the Archbishop of Braga, D. José Cordeiro, takes place from 3:00 pm.
Safe travels to all those heading to Vila Verde to celebrate this day that has a special meaning for many motorcyclists.
