Glory Daze 2024
Motorcycles of all kinds rolled into Pittsburgh Brewing Company for the annual Glory Daze Motorcycle Show on Saturday, September 21, 2024. The new location was a hit, allowing for more room and unique forms of entertainment throughout the day.
Changing venues isn’t easy, and many people wondered how the vibe of past events would transfer to the new setting. Pittsburgh Brewing Company is the home of Iron City Beer, a presenting partner of the show since day one. Their impressive 43-acre facility is the former site of the historic PPG Glass factory, originally built in 1883. Our goal was to take the primary elements of what made Glory Daze a success at the Carrie Blast Furnaces and fit them into this new, larger layout. The indoor invitational was moved to the warehouse building of the brewery, with the outdoor Courtyard area and vendor rows sitting right outside. Just like the last venue, those who arrived on bikes could pull into the show and park in the middle of the action.

The curated indoor bike show didn’t disappoint, with 2024 having more bikes than any previous year. Wild hand-built customs, restorations, and an array of race bikes were mixed into the chopper-heavy lineup that filled all three indoor areas. We can’t thank the builders enough for their work piecing together these inspirational two-wheeled works of art. For many, it’s not easy making the trip to Pittsburgh, and their effort doesn’t go unnoticed.
In celebration of the move, we organized a groovy outdoor car show featuring interesting rides ranging from gassers and roadsters to classic vans and pickups. The Courtyard was also upgraded with the addition of the Ives Brothers Wall of Death and a stage for live music from Different Places in Space, The Yeggs, and Black Ridge. The venue’s Brew House is the new home of the Trippy Ten helmet art show where presenting partner, Torc Helmets, was set up with live painting from T10 selected artist Mike Stivale.

High fives and many thanks to our awesome team, presenting partners Iron City Beer and Torc Helmets, and event sponsors Uptahn Metalworks, ServiceMaster Restore, Lowbrow Customs, American Muscle Docks, Three Rivers Harley-Davidson, and Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys. We couldn’t do it without your support.
The weird and welcoming atmosphere you’ve come to expect at Glory Daze is because of the free minds that make up the event. We like to think of this as a collaborative effort, so thanks to those who return year to year and let loose for a beautiful motorcycle weekend in September. We get so many compliments about the friendliness radiating throughout the show, and that says a lot about the motorcycle community.
We’ll start planning for 2025 soon, but until then, please enjoy the photo galleries, videos, and Trippy Ten helmet showcase to come! Sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of this site and stay tuned for an announcement on next year’s dates.
Peace + Love,
Kurt & Alexa Diserio
