Ducati is making World Ducati Week 2026 a celebration of its 100th anniversary, setting up a dedicated 'Heritage Village' at Misano. The event will also host an official 'Ducati Heritage Contest' for classic road-going models.
WDW is less a motorcycle event at this point and more a kind of culture festival. Fans and legendary bikes from all over the world gathering at Misano, wrapped in that red atmosphere for a 100-year celebration. The builders' aesthetics line up together in one place, across every model year. It's a place that makes you want to go and soak in the energy, not the specs.

A comparison against other companies' anniversary events, like BMW's Motorrad Days, could be interesting too.
Is the Ducati Heritage Contest something regular owners can actually enter too?
WDW is an annual tradition, but curious how much bigger the scale actually gets for the 100th anniversary versus a normal year.
With the 100th-anniversary title attached, it's almost certain the guest list and exhibit scale will exceed a normal year.
Legendary bikes gathering at Misano — would love to see the exhibit list of which eras of models are actually included.
The street-legal classic Ducati Heritage Contest — probably a lot of owners who'd want to enter their own bikes.
Being able to enter the official contest should boost owner motivation too.
Setting up a dedicated Heritage Village is exactly the kind of effort you'd want for a 100th anniversary.
