About World Ducati Week
The global gathering of Ducatisti
World Ducati Week (WDW) is the most anticipated event for lovers of the Borgo Panigale brand: the world's largest gathering dedicated to Ducati and motorcycle enthusiasts. Born in the late nineties, each edition attracts tens of thousands of Ducatisti from around the globe. The event takes place at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, along the Romagna Riviera, in the municipality of Misano Adriatico, province of Rimini, in Emilia-Romagna, the pulsating heart of Italy's Motor Valley.
A historic edition: Ducati's 100th anniversary
The 2026 edition, scheduled from July 3rd to 5th, is the thirteenth and holds a very special significance: on July 4th, Ducati turns 100 years old, right during the gathering days. A century of passion, sport, and Italian engineering is celebrated with an unprecedented party, featuring shows, previews, and moments dedicated to the brand's history.
The program on and off the track
Three days of pure adrenaline. Visitors can test their riding skills during track sessions, participate in the traditional parade where an endless stream of red bikes rides the circuit, meet riders for autographs, and witness the solemn parade lap with champions of the present and past. There are also breathtaking shows by the Stunt Riders, numerous themed contests, test rides, the International Village of Clubs, and seminars.
The Lenovo Race of Champions
The competitive heart of the event is the Lenovo Race of Champions, the challenge between Ducati's MotoGP and Superbike riders. For the first time in 2026, the race changes format: free practice and qualifying on Saturday, warm-up and race on Sunday, in a single, tense showdown. Recent editions have featured champions like Francesco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini, Alvaro Bautista, and Nicolò Bulega.
An experience that begins online

WDW ticket holders also receive a discount on entry to the Ducati factory and Museum in Borgo Panigale, Bologna.
