There's a lot happening on the lakefront this weekend – but nothing could compare to the roar of the Harley Homecoming Festival's return to Veterans Park.
The first evening of shows down on the lakefront went country, with headliners Jelly Roll and Hardy joined by Warren Zeiders, Priscilla Block and many more throughout Friday's festivities. If country isn't king for your eardrums, then night two at Veterans Park was almost certainly your jam with Red Hot Chili Peppers bringing some "Californication" to Wisconsin's shores along with The Offspring and others bringing rock to go along with the roar. And if somehow none of the main stage acts revved your ears' engines, there was still something for everyone down at Veterans Park on this weekend – from Nitro Circus to aerial acrobatics courtesy of the Air & Water Show next door and even some flying furniture.
Want to relive this weekend 121 years in the making while you recover from several days of burning rubber and vocal chords? Missed out on all the full-throttle fun and want to pour some fuel on your Monday morning FOMO? No matter the case, here are more than 30 images from Harley Homecoming's dynamic duo of nights this weekend, courtesy of photographer Ty Helbach.
