The 11th annual gathering of VESPA owners and fans is the largest and now legendary festival of the Italian scooters in the Czech Republic.
It will take place from 23 to 25 June in Prague in the HG Sport Sportcentru Troja, right by the Vltava River.
The ride, organised by the Vespa Club Prague, started in Prague’s Holešovice district and continued across the Letná plain to the district of Žižkov.
Some participants have brand new Vespas, while others are looking after their scooters for years carefully. Several fans drive even historical Vespa scooters from the 1950s.
The scooter’s name means “wasp” in Italian as its engine sounds like a wasp’s buzzing. Others point to the scooter’s shape that resembles this black-yellow insect.
Keep watching this event on Facebook PragoVespa 2023, Instagram vespaclubpraha or on this website, there will be more information to come.
