The Victory for Veterans Memorial Ride brings motorcycle-loving veterans by the thousands to Wicker Memorial Park. It’s a day to celebrate the men and women who have laid their lives on the line for each of us. No event is complete without entertainment, food and fun family-friendly activities and the Victory for Veterans Memorial Ride is no exception.
Register Today! Registering in advance on our website is strongly encouraged. We appreciate all the support of everyone who has attended over the uears. Our only concern is to keep the riders safe and free from injury along the route with the procession being almost as long as the route itself, managing the escort is becoming a challenge. All the law enforcement departments from all communities involved, are participating in the escort as well as the Lake County Sheriff and Indiana State Police. We appreciate your cooperation and continued support.
PLEASE NOTE: there will be no consumption of alcohol anywhere in the park before the ride! This will be strictly enforced by law enforcement officers stationed in the park!! No containers of any kind containing alcohol may be brought into the park!!
