Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum Celebrates Harley-Davidson 115th Anniversary At Five-Day Milwaukee Festival

Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum revs up Labor Day this summer by partnering with Harley-Davidson for its 115 th Anniversary Celebration. Held in Milwaukee from Wednesday, August 29 to Sunday, September 2, the festival includes five full days of festivities and plays host to an exclusive mobile museum featuring the outside-the-lines work of biker and tattoo artist Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, the American-made rum's namesake. Spike TV's "Ink Master" star Oliver Peck will be onsite during the festival, giving a limited number of free Sailor Jerry flash art tattoos to lucky attendees, the art selected at random from his famous gumball machine. The event will also feature select bikes from the Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum and Harley-Davidson's joint "My Work Speaks for Itself" design contest, with winners from across the nation showcasing their Norman Collins' inspired designs on 2018 Street Bobs. Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum's presence at the festival salutes the father of American tattooing's legacy by spotlighting his iconic work and the link shared between these two true legends of Americana culture.

"The partnership between Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum and Harley-Davidson is brought to life with the mobile museum installation at the Harley-Davidson 115 th Anniversary Celebration," said Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum Ambassador Ashley Thomas. "There is no better way to spotlight the lasting impression of this American legend than within a curated space honoring Norman Collins' famous work and life's passion. Showcased in the hometown of American motorcycle culture, Norman, an avid rider, would feel right at home."

Featuring the culture-defining, self-defined art from Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins himself, the installation is a must-see for tattoo fanatics across the nation. In true Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum fashion, select bars and restaurants throughout Milwaukee will be serving smooth-as-hell cocktails alongside the five-day event.

Both Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum and Harley-Davidson are deeply rooted in rich American history. After serving in the U.S. Navy during WWII, Norman Collins dedicated his life honing the art of tattooing out of his shop on Hotel Street in Honolulu, where his shop became the must-stop destination for sailors on shore-leave. His unique flash-art style started a movement that endures to this day. Harley-Davidson, named after founders William S. Harley, Arthur Davidson, William A. Davidson and Walter Davidson, has been an American icon dating back to its establishment in 1903. Since its first motorcycle, Harley-Davidson has been dedicated to fulfilling dreams of personal freedom from exceptional custom experiences, innovative products and precise manufacturing. The continued partnership between the two brands at Harley-Davidson 115 th Anniversary Celebration cements two iconic legends within the cultural pantheon and honors their respective values and passions.
