The crème de la crème of cars and motorcycles will be on display this weekend for the 46th annual Concours d’Elegance in Ault Park.
Concours d’Elegance is a nationally recognized event that highlights North America’s premier collector automobiles and motorcycles and brings in automotive enthusiasts of all ages. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 9, and the theme for this year’s showcase is “La Dolce Vita - Celebrating Italian Style," which will emphasize Italian automotive design's innovation and elegance.
Nearly 250 vehicles will be displayed in the gardens, with 24 classes of classic, vintage and exotic automobiles and motorcycles. There will also be special display classes like the 60th Anniversary of the Ford Mustang and Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg.
There will also be rare and exclusive automobiles debuting at the 2024 Concours, including the Duesenberg special, "The Mormon Meteor,” a one-off speed record car that was built in 1935 and is now owned by a Cincinnati collector. A 1962 Autobianchi Bianchina Cabriolet "Eden Roc," one of the smallest cabriolets ever produced, from the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville will be on display at the Cincinnati Concours for the first time ever.
"These extraordinary automobiles offer a rare opportunity for attendees to admire and appreciate automotive history and craftsmanship never before seen at the Cincinnati Concours," organizers said in a press release.
Also new this year will be the Formula One Racing Viewing Area. The staged area will be at the opposite end of the Pavilion where guests can watch the Montreal Grand Prix.
Concours d’Elegance will again host the Will Sherman Automotive Art Show, which displays local and national automotive artists.
There will be a variety of food offerings available during the event. You can also enjoy a VIP brunch at the Pavilion from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for $60. Advanced reservations are required.
A craft beer garden featuring local brews will be set up next to the Pavilion from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Beer garden tickets can be bought day of.
Tickets for the showcase can be reserved online here. Adult tickets are $45 and student tickets (with a valid ID) are $15 and children 12 and under get in for free.
Spectator parking is located at the Fifth-Third Bank Operations Center at 5020 Duck Creek Road, with shuttle service to the park from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Organizers say parking near Ault Park will be very limited, so you’re encouraged to use the spectator parking lot.
