As is traditional, the key event is set to take place on Saturday 3rd May: the Vespa Parade. Thousands of Vespa lovers, in the saddle of Vespa bikes from every decade, will parade through the city, a joyful, colourful procession that will wind its way through Gijón - a truly incredible sight!
Following the amazing parade in Pontedera (Pisa, Tuscany, Italy) during the 2024 edition of the event, which broke all previous records with over 15,000 Vespas creating a snake which extended for more than 16 km, another record-breaking turnout is expected this year.

On 25 April, the presentation press conference of the most important Vespa rally in the world was held in the Gijon Town Hall, attended by: Ángela Pumariega, Deputy Mayor of the Ayuntamiento de Gijón, Álvaro Alonso, Director of the Chamber of Commerce of Gijón, Alfonso Murciego, President of the Vespa Club de España.
The Vespa World Days. The Vespa World Days event is a celebration of the timeless legend of the Vespa. This vehicle has become so much more than an easy, elegant means of transport used for commuting - it is now a global icon of Italian style, adored by entire generations. Vespa and the love of its fans were essentially born at the same time - so much so that as early as 1946, the year the world's most famous scooter was created, owners of this icon decided to join forces, forming the very first Vespa Clubs. The desire of these clubs to come together to celebrate their passion en masse was first realised in 1954, with the great International Rally in Paris.
In 2024, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of EuroVespa - an event that has been known as Vespa World Days since 2007, with a view to emphasising its global spirit - the rally was held in Pontedera for the very first time, the city where Vespa was born, and where it has been manufactured since 1946: this record-breaking edition was attended by over 30,000 Vespa enthusiasts.
