The Detroit Concours d’Elegance, which returns to the grounds of the Detroit Institute of Arts Sept. 22-23, will feature automotive activities for all ages, hands-on-the-wheel opportunities, and a show field filled with 150 rare vehicles.
The event is a tribute to the people and city that designed, built, and drove American car culture, and to the vehicles at its heart.
Friday’s Cars & Community event at the DIA will feature multiple family activities, including Motor City Car Club Displays, a collection of locally owned show vehicles curated from the Midwest, the Future Drivers Club for kids, a RADwood-era showcase, and more.
Saturday’s Concours d’Elegance will host 150 historically significant vehicles. Featured classes will include ’57 Heaven, Mopar Magic, Ferraris from the ’60s, and Concours of America All Stars, as well as Best in Class vehicles from 1979-2021. An awards ceremony and free Hagerty Ride & Drives will be available to public ticketholders all day.
“We’re proud to bring this signature event back to Detroit, which has long been the center of the automotive universe,” says McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. “Car enthusiasts across the state and region can again expect to see the very best in automotive innovation, design, and craftsmanship in a world class setting. It’s going to be a special few days.”
The Detroit Concours d’Elegance builds on more than four decades of world-class automobiles, fine dining, exceptional hospitality, and impactful community giving. Its heritage can be traced back to its beginnings in 1979 at Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills and Concours of America.
Events on both days will take place at the Detroit Institute of Arts. For more details or to enter a vehicle, visit DetroitConcours.com.
