ANTICIPATION

Anticipation

“The joy of looking forward to a favorite activity – Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance” – Ed Bertha

“People continue to be the most important component of The Amelia. They’re all “Car Guys” of one stripe or another. They are the reason people tell me that The Amelia is still, in our 24th year, the “Racers’ Concours” or “The Fun Concours”. These days, even with the rain, I still think it’s both.”
Bill Warner
Founder and Chairman
Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance

2018 rocked it and the 2019 event (March 7-10) surely will be even better. The Concours is like a fine wine, getting better each year.

Now in its second decade, the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance is among the top automotive events in the world. The Amelia, always held the second full weekend in March, draws over 300 rare vehicles from collections from around the world. This is an automotive celebration like no other. Since the initial event in 1996 the show’s Charitable Foundation has donated over $2.5 million to deserving charities along Florida’s First Coast.

Take a trip to the Concours. You won’t leave disappointed. Make sure to get your hotel reservations early or plan to face a drive (It will still be worth it!).

Maybe I’ll see you there.
