After postponing last year’s show due to the event outgrowing its current venue, the Philadelphia Concours d’Elegance has announced that it is returning on June 6–7, 2026, at Union League Liberty Hill. Reimagined for a new era, the event highlights the most influential automobiles from the 1960s through today, celebrating both the elegance and heritage of classic cars and the defining vehicles that have shaped the decades since, event officials stated in a press release. This year’s curated field is valued at over $300 million, drawn from private collections across the country.
This year’s theme, “Amore per l’Italia,” translated to “Love for Italy,” honors the passion, design and racing heritage of Italy’s most iconic marques, noted the release. The event will feature dedicated classes including Ferrari competition cars, Lamborghini Miura and modern hypercars, from coachbuilt masterpieces to legendary race cars representing pivotal moments in automotive history.
Benefiting Cool Cars for Kids
The Philadelphia Concours d’Elegance benefits Cool Cars for Kids, a Philadelphia-based 501(c)(3) that turns a love of cars into a lifeline for children born with genetic conditions. Proceeds go directly to care, support and research at leading institutions, including the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Cohen Children’s Medical Center, funding the doctors, researchers, and specialty clinics working to give every family a diagnosis, a community and a path to treatment. Every ticket, sponsorship and vehicle entry directly advances research and care for children and families facing rare genetic disorders, event officials said.
