Harley-Davidson rally, live music, and charity in the heart of the Pisan Valdarno
The Montopoli Custom Night is one of the most anticipated events for custom motorcycle enthusiasts in central Tuscany. Organized by the social promotion association Sportsteristi Toscani A.P.S., the event brings the historic center of Montopoli in Val d'Arno, in the province of Pisa, to life, combining the allure of Harley-Davidson bikes with charity and the promotion of the lower Valdarno area.
The heart of the event is the charming Piazza San Matteo, located in the hilltop village of Montopoli, where motorcyclists gather in the late afternoon. After the meet-up, the bikes set off for a run through the Pisan hills, offering participants panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside, complete with vineyards, olive groves, and ancient villages. Upon returning to the square, the festival continues with refreshments provided by the Pro Loco of Montopoli and live music that keeps the evening going until late.
The Custom Night is more than just a rally for bikers: it is a true village festival that welcomes everyone, even those who don't own a motorcycle. The gastronomic component, featuring typical products and traditional local dishes offered by the Pro Loco, along with the live rock concert, turns the evening into a social occasion for the entire community and visitors alike.
The Sportsteristi Toscani association, founded in 2019 and based in the hamlet of Marti, brings together Harley-Davidson Sportster owners with the goal of combining motorcycling with charity. Over the years, they have supported organizations such as Telethon, Caritas, and various children's projects by organizing motorcycle rallies, charity rides, and fundraisers, including the famous Christmas event "Metti in Moto un Sorriso" (Start a Smile). As president Tomas Gorini notes, "Our passion for Harley-Davidson is the engine that drives us to do good and discover the lesser-known corners of our splendid region."
Included in the Tuscany events calendar, the Montopoli Custom Night promotes the village, its hills, and its food and wine traditions, offering participants an authentic experience of motors, landscapes, and hospitality. It is a fusion of mechanical passion and civic commitment that has steadily increased the popularity of this rally in the province of Pisa over the years.
On Saturday, June 13, 2026, the Montopoli Custom Night brought Harley-Davidson enthusiasts and curious locals to Piazza San Matteo. The program included a gathering at 5:00 PM in the square and the departure of the run at 6:00 PM for a scenic tour through the Pisan hills.
Upon returning, the evening continued with refreshments provided by the Pro Loco of Montopoli and live music by the band Glam Rock Session, which enlivened the historic center until late in the evening. The spirit of solidarity that characterizes all initiatives of the Sportsteristi Toscani A.P.S. was also confirmed for this edition.
