Hotel rooms still available for Harley-Davidson’s 110th
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- We are just a little over three weeks away from Harley-Davidson's 110th Anniversary. As many as 150,000 people will be riding into Milwaukee for the anniversary celebration, and that means, it's all hands on deck for Milwaukee-area hotels!
“We are super excited for this to come,” said Cassie Scrima, Director of Marketing for Marcus Hotels.
Scrima says as many as a thousand employees are getting the three hotels ready for the big bash. The Pfister Hotel, Hilton Milwaukee and the Intercontinental Hotel have special events and promotions for all of their guests.
Fifth Street near Wisconsin Ave. will close to host a beer garden and a bikini bike wash, and all their restaurants, like Miller Time Pub, will have a special drink made for Harley fans.
“We had a couple of people go down to Lynchburg, Tenn. to hand-select a single barrel whiskey from Jack Daniels. We have all those bottles available at all our restaurants,” said Scrima.
As for accommodations, they've been booked for months, but Scrima encourages interested guests to check with the hotel because there could be cancellations.
“We do have some waitlists we can put people on for sure,” she said.
Outside of the Downtown area, dozens of hotels are still available. Those can be found on the Wisconsin Hotel & Lodging Association website, which is updated weekly.
“Right now, it displays 51 properties within a 2-hour drive. We have it broken out between how far it is between 15 minutes to 2 hours,” said President & CEO Trisha Pugal.
Rooms range from one night to week-long stays, depending on the hotel.
