Amelia Island Concours Week: A Week of Classic Motoring in Florida

Amelia Island Concours Week is a series of events dedicated to classic and collector cars held on Amelia Island, Florida. The 2026 edition is scheduled from Wednesday, March 4, to Sunday, March 8, with activities spread across various locations on the island, such as The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, the Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa, the Amelia River Golf Club and Main Beach Park.

Collector Car Auctions and Exhibitions

The week includes two major auctions. Gooding Christie’s holds its Amelia Island Auction 2026 with viewing sessions at Racquet Park, at the Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa, and bidding on Thursday, March 5, and Friday, March 6. The firm has specialized in offering Porsches from prestigious collections, such as selections from The Jerry Seinfeld Collection. Meanwhile, Broad Arrow Auction presents 140 collector cars ranging from pre-war American and European classics to motorsport icons and modern supercars, with a free public preview at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, and auction on March 6 and 7.

The Amelia Concours d’Elegance and Other Highlights

The centerpiece is the 31st Amelia Concours d’Elegance, organized by Hagerty, held on Saturday, March 7, at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. It brings together more than 250 historic vehicles competing for awards in over 35 classes. The program is completed by the Porsche Club Werks Reunion, celebrating its tenth edition on Amelia Island with the Porsche 924 —introduced in 1976 and marking its 50th anniversary— and the transaxle series as featured models; the Classic Motorsports Amelia Island Kickoff & Concours d’Lemon at Main Beach Park; the RADwood festival, focused on 1980s and 1990s car culture; and the closing event Cars & Caffeine®.

In addition to the auctions and exhibitions, the program includes the Hagerty Ride & Drive, which allows driving new cars from select manufacturers around Amelia Island, with public access on a first-come, first-served basis. The Eight Flags Road Tour travels through the area’s scenery and roads, although it is reserved for Concours entrants and special guests. The offering is complemented by dinners and evening events such as Reverie, Legends of Speed —an intimate dinner with the 2026 honoree, Dario Franchitti MBE— and a series of seminars on topics such as the future of women in motorsport, the honoree’s cars, Chip Foose and Can-Am.
