The Concours d’Elegance, one of the best-loved Amelia Island events, is an annual showcase of more than 300 classic and exotic cars from around the world.
Displaying rare vehicles, elegant exotics from overseas, and customized machines with all the bells and whistles, this event is Amelia Island’s celebration of all things “car.”
And you can see it for yourself. Below is a guide to the details covering 2020’s Concours d’Elegance event – be sure to add it to your list of things to do while on vacation.
Where and When
You can find the wide array of fast, flashy vehicles at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island (4750 Amelia Island Pkwy.) from March 5 to 8, 2020.
Brands on display may include Porsche, Lamborghini, Corvette, Maserati, Daytona 500 vehicles – including some race winners – and many other exotic vehicles.
The three-day showcase runs from morning to evening all three days, with the main event taking place on the final day.
The Golf Club of Amelia Island is part of the Ritz Carlton. While you don’t have to be a Golf Club member to attend, members receive VIP entry to a number of events and, periodically, first access to certain previews and other events.
Both visitors staying at the Ritz-Carlton and those staying at Amelia Island vacation rentals and hotels around the island are welcome to attend the Concours d’Elegance.
