The La Jolla Concours d’Elegance returns April 24–26, 2026, celebrating its 20th anniversary with a spectacular three-day showcase of automotive excellence, coastal beauty, and community spirit. Set against the iconic backdrop of La Jolla Cove, this milestone event brings together more than 170 extraordinary vehicles—from pre-war classics to racing legends—under this year’s theme, “Icons of Speed.”
More than a car show, the Concours is a full lifestyle experience, blending fine dining, live music, art, and oceanfront elegance. Throughout the weekend, guests can enjoy tastings from top local restaurants, premium wines and cocktails, and docent-led insights from automotive experts—all while taking in some of the world’s most remarkable cars.
The celebration begins Friday with a stylish VIP soirée overlooking the coast, continues Saturday with Porsches & Power on Prospect, a lively, free event that transforms the Village into an open-air showcase of luxury and performance vehicles, and culminates Sunday at Ellen Browning Scripps Park with the flagship Concours, where collectors compete for the prestigious Best of Show award.
Beyond the beauty and excitement, the event has heart—100% of net proceeds benefit the La Jolla Historical Society, supporting the preservation of the community’s rich cultural heritage.
