After a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Ducati Week gathering returned to the Marco Simoncelli Misano World Circuit in eastern Italy.

Last held during the summer of 2018, the biennial event celebrates all things Ducati and is a chance for Italian streetbike enthusiasts to bond and share their love for the Borgo Panigale brand. During the three-day celebration this July 22–24, 80,000 loyal Ducati fans partied and took advantage of a variety of events in and around the summertime vacation beaches of the Adriatic coast. Here are some of our favorite photos from the event.
