Revitalized Success: Partakan’s Thrilling Return to the North

The much-awaited return of the Partakan Festival in 2024 marks a significant milestone after a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s revival of one of the largest motorcycle tourism events in the country offers a two-day extravaganza packed with exciting activities, including long rides, beach festivities, invitational flat track and trail rides, and live music entertainment.

Established by Ropali Motorcycles, a leading motorcycle dealer in the Philippines, the Partakan Festival made its debut in 2014 in Cagayan, initiated by a group of riding enthusiasts. Over the years, the festival has attracted a growing number of attendees, fostering camaraderie among riders from various clubs and groups nationwide, embodying its name, which translates to “let’s accelerate and ride together!”

The resurgence of the Partakan Festival in 2024 has reignited the enthusiasm of motorcycle enthusiasts who have cherished past editions. After a four-year hiatus, Partakan has revitalized the spirit of adventure and restored Ropali’s distinctive imprint on the industry.

In 2024, Partakan has dedicated itself to two fundamental endeavors: advancing moto-tourism in the North and championing safety riding. Through a collaboration with Philippine Motorcycle Tourism, Ropali meticulously crafted picturesque routes in the Ilocos Region, harnessing the power of social media to highlight the area’s scenic attractions. Furthermore, partnerships with the MMDA Motorcycle Riding Academy and the Philippine National Police emphasized the festival’s unwavering commitment to ensuring participant safety. The ride itself served as a precursor to the motorcycle events meticulously curated and supervised by Coach Mel Aquino.
