Scottsdale will once again host one of the Valley’s most anticipated events when the Arizona Concours d’Elegance takes over the lawns of Scottsdale Civic Center on January 18, 2026.
Now in its eighth year, this gathering of exceptional vehicles will feature an array of rare and high-value collector cars and motorcycles from around the world, creating a stylish garden-party atmosphere that appeals to dedicated car enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates artistry in design.
“The Concours will be an upscale lifestyle event featuring rare and fascinating vehicles staged on the grass, with entrants and spectators, some in period costumes, strolling the lawns under the sparkling-blue Arizona sky,” said Ed Winkler, co-chairman of the Arizona Concours.
The event will showcase 100 curated machines, professionally judged across 15 classes, ranging from the 140th anniversary of Mercedes-Benz, the featured marque of 2026, to dune buggies, beach cruisers, post-war European sports cars, mid-century station wagons, and exotic supercars from 2000 through 2025.
Special awards and Best of Show trophies for pre- and post-World War II vehicles will be presented. In partnership with Scottsdale Arts, the event reflects a long-standing love for automotive excellence.
“Scottsdale Arts is thrilled to partner with Arizona Concours d’Elegance for a fourth year,” said Gerd Wuestemann, PhD, president and CEO of Scottsdale Arts. “We are looking forward to another great event featuring these rolling works of art, with Scottsdale Civic Center serving as a magnificent backdrop.”
Attendees are encouraged to embrace the event’s historic spirit by dressing in period costumes, adding an extra layer of elegance to the show. Proceeds will benefit artists and art programs, as well as Make-A-Wish® Arizona. Learn more at arizonaconcours.org.
