Harley-Davidson Museum To Construct New Event Venue This Summer

MILWAUKEE, WI - The Harley-Davidson Museum and 1903 events will start construction of an 8200-square-foot event venue on the museum campus at 400 W. Canal St. this summer. The new project will be finished in the spring of 2022 according to the museum. The new venue will replace Chrome, the seasonal event space south of The Shop.

The venue will have floor-to-ceiling windows, garage doors that open up to green spaces and an overlook of the Menomonee River, according to Annie Champeau, the Director of Sales for 1903 Events. The space will be used for weddings, meetings and other gathering events. On-site catering, seating and integrated AV will be included according to 1903's website.

Bill Davidson, Vice President of the Harley-Davidson Museum, said, "We know there are a lot of people who are looking forward to coming together in person in the near future. This new event space will give our 1903 Events team the opportunity to deliver unique experiences that can only be found on our campus."

Located in the Menomonee Valley, the museum opened in 2008. Peggy Williams-Smith, president and CEO of VISIT Milwaukee, said that the museum is a must-see for Milwaukee's visitors. "As an incredibly important part of the Menomonee Valley, the Harley-Davidson Museum is uniquely situated to bring people together from around town and across the globe."
