Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance 2027

A legendary event from the beginning When car lovers first gathered for The Amelia Concours in April 1996, they witnessed something special—an impressive gathering of everyday enthusiasts, legendary drivers, automotive designers, TV personalities, and industry executives all united by their passion for automobiles. Year after year, founder Bill Warner and his dedicated team of volunteers have transformed this vision into a world-class event. Their hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. The Amelia Concours earned the prestigious “Motoring Event of the Year” award from the International Historic Motoring Awards in both 2013 and 2016, cementing its reputation among the world’s premier automotive gatherings. Grand since day one The Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance set the bar high from the very beginning, proudly welcoming racing legend Stirling Moss as its inaugural honoree in 1996. Since then, the event hasn’t taken its foot off the gas, continuing to attract motorsports’ most revolutionary figures. The distinguished list of honorees reads like a who’s who of automotive greatness: Carroll Shelby, Phil Hill, Bobby Unser, Derek Bell, Roger Penske, Lyn St. James, Jeff Gordon, and countless other icons who have shaped the world of motorsports. Giving back to the community The Amelia Concours delivers far more than automotive excellence—it’s an economic powerhouse for Florida, generating an estimated $30 million in annual impact. Beyond the numbers, the event has given back over $4 million to local non-profit organizations, proving that this celebration of automotive heritage truly benefits the entire community.
