Swiss Motorcycle Meet (Switzerland)

Swiss Motorcycle-Meet (June 22, 2025) – A broad motorcycle meet for riders across Switzerland, presented by Ducati Switzerland AG​. Despite the Ducati sponsorship, this isn’t limited to one brand – all makes are welcome. It’s essentially a big national ride-in. Bikers from various regions roll in on all kinds of bikes: sportbikes, touring bikes, cruisers, adventure bikes, perhaps even some Swiss-custom machines. The Ducati presence might mean a strong showing of Ducatis (and maybe test rides or a Ducati tent), but parking will be a kaleidoscope of brands. This meet fosters unity in the Swiss biking community – everyone, regardless of what they ride, gathering under the flag of two-wheeled passion. With likely hundreds of bikes, the spectacle is impressive. Conversations flow about recent rides through the Alps, upcoming events, and of course comparisons of bikes. The phrase “freedom lovers” fits well here, as motorcyclists share a bond of enjoying the open road​.

Jaguar Meet (Switzerland)

Jaguar Meet (June 28, 2025) – A Jaguar automobile meet presented by Dönni Classic Cars​. It’s a day of British luxury and performance on display. Attendees can expect to see a lineage of the leaping cat: elegant classics like the Jaguar E-Type or MK2 saloon, modern sport sedans like the XJ and XF, and sports cars like the F-Type – maybe even a rare XJ220 supercar if one’s in the area. Dönni Classic Cars’ involvement might bring some showroom-quality vintage Jags to admire. The meet celebrates Jaguar’s blend of grace and pace. Enthusiasts will chat about things like the smoothness of an inline-6 vs. a V12, the design of Sir William Lyons, or Jaguar’s racing heritage at Le Mans. It’s a refined crowd, but at heart it’s about sharing love for a brand known for style. Tea and crumpets aren’t on the menu (unless the Ace whips some up!), but the spirit of British automotive excellence certainly is.

Vintage & Classic Car Meet (Switzerland)

Vintage & Classic Car Meet (June 29, 2025) – June’s second helping of the classic car meet (since May had one end of month, June gets one too). This one again invites all classic cars up to 1995​. Summer is in full swing, so turnout can be great – lots of gleaming cars, some with windows down and picnic baskets in the back, giving it a bit of a classic picnic vibe. The consistency of these meets doesn’t diminish the charm; in fact, many casual visitors plan their Sundays around catching this gathering. The phrase “Dein Oldie will im Ace Cafe Luzern gesehen werden” (your classic wants to be seen at the Ace) still holds true​ – owners know their beloved cars belong here among appreciative eyes. As always, it’s a relaxed exhibition where every vehicle has a story and every onlooker a memory sparked by these rolling classics.

American Classic Cars (Switzerland)

American Classic Cars (pre-1989) Meet (July 5, 2025) – A meet focused on American classics up to 1989, presented by Carrosserie Fischer AG Sursee​. This is tailor-made for vintage American car aficionados. The parking lot will look like a time warp to the mid-20th century: big fins of ’50s Chevys, muscle cars of the ’60s and ’70s, perhaps some ’80s American icons. By limiting to pre-’89, it ensures an old-school vibe – no modern Mustangs or Corvettes, but rather their ancestors. Enthusiasts can soak in details like chrome bumpers, tailfins, carburetors, and classic Detroit styling. Carrosserie Fischer’s involvement implies an emphasis on restoration and bodywork quality; attendees might pick up tips on maintaining those massive frames and glossy paint jobs​. It’s essentially a celebration of the golden age of American motoring, bringing a bit of Route 66 nostalgia to Switzerland.

Flea Market at Ace (Switzerland)

Flea Market at Ace (July 6, 2025) – The summer edition of the flea market. With warm weather, expect an even livelier atmosphere – possibly more sellers (the good weather encourages turnout) and buyers browsing at a leisurely pace. It’s also close to summer holidays; some might be clearing space before vacation, others looking for projects to tinker on during time off. Kids off school might tag along, giving it a bit of a family vibe. The core remains: a friendly marketplace for any automotive-related goods (and some not-so-automotive curios too). Under the July sun, with cold drinks available from the cafe, this flea market feels almost like a block party for gearheads. Regulars now know each other by name, making bargaining a fun game among friends.

Italian Car Meet (Switzerland)

Italian Car Meet (July 12, 2025) – “La dolce vita auf vier Rädern” – the sweet life on four wheels – comes to Ace Cafe​. This meet is all about Italian cars. It’s as if a slice of Italy’s autostrada has been transplanted to Luzern. Expect Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis for the exotic end, but also plenty of Alfa Romeos, Fiats (classic 500s aplenty), Lancias, maybe some rarer stuff like a De Tomaso or Pagani if one’s around. Owners and fans of Italian marques revel in the design and passion these cars exude – the reds are redder, the engine notes more operatic. You might hear discussions on the nuances of a V12 Ferrari versus a V8, or a passionate debate on Alfa’s best engine of all time. The meet is a colorful, spirited affair – much like Italian culture itself – and absolutely teeming with bella machina.

Harley Meet (Switzerland)

Harley-Davidson Meet (July 13, 2025) – The rumble returns. This is another round (the third one this year) for the Harley crowd. By mid-July, many Harley riders are in peak riding season, perhaps en route to or from bigger rallies, and the Ace meet serves as a perfect gathering point. It’s essentially a Harley-focused bike show by now – shiny customs that have evolved since May, new accessories to show off. The partner, B!XE AG, likely continues to support with maybe a service booth or merchandise stand​. The sound of dozens of Harleys starting up together might even startle the uninitiated – but to attendees it’s music. Brotherhood/sisterhood among riders is the theme; new riders get welcomed, and long-time riders swap tales of epic summer rides (maybe someone just rode back from Sturgis or a European Harley meet). The essence remains the celebration of American motorcycle freedom, and the Ace is its Swiss home turf.

Classic Bike Meet (Switzerland)

Classic Bike-Meet (pre-1989) (July 19, 2025) – A gathering for vintage motorcycles up to 1989. This is the two-wheeled counterpart to the oldtimer car meets. Classic bike owners – whether of old British bikes (BSAs, Triumphs), early Japanese superbikes (Kawasaki Z1s, Honda CB750s), or other vintage makes – gather to show their machines. Without the roar of modern bikes, the gentle thump of an old single-cylinder or the whine of a two-stroke might be heard and appreciated. Attendees can examine features like kickstarters, carburetors, and drum brakes – technology largely bygone. It’s a niche but passionate group, often overlapping with classic car folks. Many of these bikes have interesting journeys (maybe war-era dispatch bikes or ’80s superbikes that were posters on a wall). This meet gives them their deserved spotlight.

Four C Meet (Switzerland)

“Four-C” Car-Meet: Charger, Challenger, Camaro, Corvette (July 20, 2025) – A clever themed meet focusing on four American performance legends that start with C. The Four-C Meet brings together Dodge’s Charger & Challenger and Chevy’s Camaro & Corvette. Fans of American muscle and sports cars get a treat seeing these icons side by side. It’s like a friendly face-off: Chargers and Challengers flexing Mopar muscle opposite Camaros and Corvettes representing Chevrolet. Owners often have fun with this rivalry – you might see informal comparisons of horsepower, burn-out abilities, or drag-race banter (all in good fun). Photo ops with all four “Cs” lined up are a given. The meet underscores the enduring appeal of these models – each with decades of heritage – and lets enthusiasts debate which “C” truly rules the road. In truth, all four rule, and that’s the point of celebrating them together.

Tractor & Single-Axle Meet (Switzerland)

Traktoren- & Einachser-Treffen (July 26, 2025) – A tractor and single-axle vehicle meet that brings agricultural machinery into the spotlight​. Presented by Traktorenwerkstatt Büchler GmbH​, this is not your typical shiny car show – it’s far more rustic. Old farm tractors, some beautifully restored and some left in work-worn patina, roll in along with “Einachser” – two-wheeled walk-behind tractors or tillers, often towing small trailers. The machines might be Lanz Bulldogs belching smoke or classic John Deeres, Steyrs, and other European farm legends. It’s a treat for fans of mechanical history and rural heritage. These vehicles tell the story of agriculture’s evolution. Visitors might see demonstrations of an old single-cylinder tractor engine (“Glühkopf” hot-bulb engines, for example). The pace is slower (tractors aren’t fast!), but the enthusiasm is real – particularly among older generations who grew up with these machines. This meet adds a charmingly different flavor to the Ace’s lineup, proving that if it has wheels (or treads) and an engine, there’s a place for it at the Ace Cafe.
