Featured Programs
While the Hog Daze Motorcycle Rally first took place in 2009, IMPS formed in 2015 to continue the commemorative event and share more of Indiana’s unique claim to fame in motorcycle history. This rally is a three-day event that highlights motorcycles and motorcycle racing in Indiana. Events at this rally include a motorcycle race, historical exhibitions, bands, bike shows, field events, contests and awards, and vendor booths. It is primarily through this rally that IMPS attains its goal of commemorating and celebrating the rich history of motorcycles in Indiana.
