Motorfest

Motorfest, the Sicilian capital of two wheels

Motorfest is the grand motorcycling festival that brings the Autodromo Valle dei Templi to life every summer. Located in the territory of Racalmuto, in the province of Agrigento, in the heart of Sicily, the event was born in 2009. Over the years, it has evolved into an unmissable annual appointment for two-wheel enthusiasts: not just a simple rally, but a genuine shared experience for those who view motorcycling as both a passion and a lifestyle.

A history dating back to 2009

The first edition, Motor Fest '09, was a pioneering event for Southern Italy, at a time when major industry gatherings were almost exclusively concentrated in the North. Spanning over 50,000 square meters, with vast exhibition areas, a Biker's Village for the rally, and the racetrack available to riders, Motorfest immediately established itself as a benchmark for enthusiasts and industry companies alike. Since then, the event has grown with every edition, becoming one of the most anticipated motor events in Sicily.

What to expect at Motorfest

The event is typically organized into several thematic areas that allow you to experience the world of motorcycling from every angle:

• Exhibition Area: dealerships, accessory and apparel distributors, featuring major brands such as Ducati, Indian Motorcycles, and Harley-Davidson;
• Bike Show: an exhibition and competition for custom bikes and café racers, featuring renowned builders and customizers;
• Speed Track: free practice sessions and demo rides to test the latest models on the track;
• Exhibitions and Stunts: spectacular acrobatic performances and live entertainment;
• Music and Biker Culture: live concerts, DJ sets, pinstriping, tattoo conventions, and stalls selling vintage clothing and vinyl records.

A landmark event for Racalmuto and Sicily

Hosted at the Autodromo Valle dei Templi, along the SS 640 road connecting Agrigento to Caltanissetta, Motorfest attracts thousands of visitors from all over Sicily and the rest of Italy. For the small town in the Agrigento hinterland—the birthplace of writer Leonardo Sciascia—the event serves as a vital showcase and an opportunity to promote the local area. The atmosphere is that of a classic major rally: the roar of engines, spectacular displays, conviviality, and a community of enthusiasts who reunite every year under the banner of their love for two wheels.
