Ducati has officially unveiled the program for World Ducati Week 2026, an edition that will mark one of the most important milestones in the company’s history. Taking place from 3 to 5 July at the Misano World Circuit, the event will celebrate Ducati’s 100th anniversary, with thousands of enthusiasts expected from around the world to honor a century of passion, innovation and racing success. Under the slogan “Live the Legend – Celebrating 100 Years Together”, this edition is set to be the biggest and most spectacular edition of WDW ever held.
One of the main attractions will once again be the Lenovo Race of Champions. The special race will bring together Ducati riders from MotoGP, WorldSBK and several national championships in a unique showdown created especially for the fans. Names such as Marc Marquez, Francesco Bagnia, Alex Marquez, Franco Morbidelli, Nicolo Bulega, Alvaro Bautista and Fabio Di Giannantonio have already been confirmed in what promises to be one of the highlights of the weekend.
Beyond the racing action, Ducati has lined up a packed schedule of activities. The traditional Ducati Parade through the streets of the Adriatic Riviera returns on Friday before ending at the Ducati Beach Party in Riccione. On Saturday night a major centenary celebration will be held at the Misano Circuit itself, where champions, legends and fans will come together to pay a spectacular tribute to Ducati’s 100-year history.
The company’s heritage will also play a central role throughout the event. The Heritage Village will host classic motorcycles, historical exhibitions and the Ducati Heritage Competition, dedicated to road-going Ducati models built before the year 2000. Visitors will also be able to explore a special exhibition showcasing a hundred key moments that helped make Ducati one of the most iconic motorcycle manufacturers in the world.
A number of exclusive motorcycles will be showcased during the event, including the new Superleggera V4 Centenario, which will make its public debut. The limited-edition Superleggera V4 Centenario Tricolore and the exclusive Collezione 100 model will also be among the stars of the exhibition areas, highlighting Ducati’s blend of cutting-edge technology and historical heritage.
Visitors will have the opportunity to experience Ducati motorcycles first-hand through track sessions, road tests and off-road activities. Models such as the Panigale V4 S, Multistrada V4 and DesertX will be available in dedicated riding experiences, while the DRE Adventure Academy will provide additional opportunities for adventure enthusiasts. Family-friendly activities, freestyle Motocross shows, interactive exhibitions and even the world premiere of a brand new Ducati model will complete the programme.
More than just a motorcycle gathering, World Ducati Week 2026 aims to be the ultimate celebration of Ducati’s first century. By bringing together its racing heritage, technical innovation, renowned riders and an enthusiastic global community, Ducati is creating a once-in-a-lifetime event worthy of its remarkable 100-year journey.
