First time attending this event. I couldn't ask for a more perfect location and weather. There were over 100+ beauties to peruse. So difficult to choose my favorite but among the top were: 1936 Delahaye 134 Competition Figoni et Falaschi, 1969 Chevy Camaro Z28 Coupe, and 1967 Shelby GT350 Fastback. I wish there was a little more spacing between the cars. I had to be super careful not to touch them when I was leaning in to look more closely. It was difficult to take good photos without capturing the adjacent car. I had the opportunity to talk to a few judges, they encouraged me to apply to be one next year. It was very cool to see 1st place winner cruise around the check-board stage so we could get a closer look in action. I was disappointed by the lack of food vendors. The quality of food wasn't aligned with the event. Missed opportunity to showcase some of the high quality purveyors in the area. I noticed a lot of empty designated VIP areas, so that space could have been used for more food vendors. I had the opportunity to speak with two car owners. Hearing the stories that each of them hold is probably what makes these car shows special for me. Thank you kindly Events.com for putting on a stellar showcase. Can't wait for next! read more

We went to the La Jolla Concourse D'Elegance 2026, for the FOURTH YEAR IN A ROW!!! We started with breakfast at a nearby restaurant. At the first car show, it was HARRY's Coffee Shop. HOWEVER, this year we went to THE COTTAGE in LJ. From there, we UBER to either La Valencia Hotel, or the Grand Colonial. NOTE: the LJCDE, always provides golf cart rides back to the top for me and my walker!!! We walked in and got our wrist blue bands, and to the right!!! We started by looking at 2 Mercedes SUVs. I got into the driver's seat, just to see how it would feel. It was very cool. We walked further down towards the music, AND AWARDS DISPLAY. We passed in front of the band as they were playing on our way to the Rolls Royces. I got into the driver's seat of it too. As I sat there, I couldn't believe the band leader was walking around getting people to sing with him. HE WALKED RIGHT UP TO THE CAR DOOR, and got me to sing with him. We continued on. I got a PINK LEMONADE. We also went to a few booths and spun a few wheels. MY PARTNER, won a Complimentary Ticket to the BALBOA PARK CAR MUSEUM!!! It was a Fun Day!!! read more

Fun times getting gussied up and checking out fancy cars of all makes and eras. Gorgeous Sunday afternoon in La Jolla was the perfect backdrop. Wasn't too terribly crowded so fiancee and I got time to check out up close all of the rides that tickled our fancy. The VIP areas looked over saturated so we were glad to stay in GA. There were a few food/drink vendors both inside and outside the event, but nothing too tempting. Thank you, Hannah, for letting us enjoy this car aficionados extravaganza! read more

We arrived right at opening at 9am on Sunday. Checkin was quick and easy. We got wristbands for re-entry. It started off with a light crowd that gradually picked up throughout the day. There were so many beautiful cars on display both inside and outside the event. The weather was perfect and the ocean views from the event were amazing. There were plenty of vendors for drinks, food, and desserts. There were also lots of chairs and tables to relax. We had a great time! read more

Wow we had the most fun at this car show! It was my first time and I had a blast. I didn't know a ton of the cars or the lore behind them, so it was helpful to have the constant loop of the announcer describing the cars and the backstories behind them. The contrast of the cars against the ocean scenery was awesome. I loved all of the food tents too - would highly recommend checking out Girard Gourmet for cookies. read more

Such a beautiful experience!! We got to see so many different cars. They were all beautifully kept, with lots of customizations. We made it just in time to see the awards being handed out. Where we got to see all the cars drive through and receive their awards. There was bit of a crowd but still plenty of room to walk and see. The weather was warm with a light breeze. Luckily, there was plenty of food and drinks available for purchase. Definitely a must see if you're in town next year!! read more

SO MUCH EYE CANDY!!! The lineup of cars at this event was absolutely incredible--everywhere you looked there was something worth admiring. It felt like a dream for any car enthusiast. The VIP lounge was just as impressive, with a great selection of restaurants serving up some seriously amazing bites. It was the perfect way to take a break, grab some delicious food, and soak in the atmosphere. Definitely an experience I'd recommend! read more

My first time every attending this amazing event! Loved seeing the various pristine classic and rare vehicles, highlighting the hard work that exhibitors have done to get these cars looking like new. The attention to detail is phenomenal and the wide variety is exciting to see. There were several bar stations throughout so that you can sip your cocktails as you admired the cars. What's nice is that you can touch and look inside! There weee no ropes to hold you back, so you were able to see everything up close and personal. An added bonus was the air show with classic airplanes flying overhead! This was unexpected! Definitely recommend and I would love to return again next year :) read more

One of the best events of the season here in San Diego and indeed in all of California. I cannot tell you how much fun I had meeting great people and eating great food. The stars of the show were the amazing vehicles from vintage all the way to the fastest car in the world!! Great music and just an overall good time. If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

This sort of event is a little out of my wheelhouse (pun intended), but I got 2 complimentary GA tickets and was excited to check it out! There was a great range of cars to see, with what seemed like an especially strong showing of cars from the 1930s. The exhibitors (car owners) were friendly, too, and although I didn't ask many questions myself I learned a lot from the conversations they were having. Overall, a fun event to check out cars in a beautiful setting! There were some food, champagne, and honey vendors as well. read more

They also give out really cool ball caps definitely giving five stars to La jolla concourse. read more

Still one of the best car shows in the world! The beauty of these vehicles continues to blow me away!

La Jolla Concours D'Elegance is an annual event held at La Jolla Cove/La Jolla Shores Park. This event had many sponsors that helped fund and coordinate VIP tents with food and entertainment, and to enter you must pay a fee depending on the VIP tier $-$$$$ you choose to pay. Like many attendees, I was fortunate to receive a VIP ticket through a friend who was one of the event sponsors. Parking is a major challenge, be prepared to pay or walk a distance if you get lucky with parking spot. No valet service to the tented events. Most of the cars on exhibit are on 2 blocks of a downhill slope :( and would be a tad painful to walk if you didn't wear comfortable shoes. Also, La Jolla coastal area had heavy marine layers, it was cold and chilly, wearing layers of clothing is recommended. I've attended the annual events held in Beverly Hills and Pebble Beach both I think are the best. This was my first here at La Jolla and for the most part, the experience was positive but I believe there should have been more public inclusivity; and less restricted spaces. So if you didn't purchase a ticket to enter the exclusive VIP tents, no worries, there are plenty of restaurants less than a block away to dine and/or have a drink, many places with spectacular ocean views. There were many automobiles on exhibit from vintage classics to exotic imports. I love automobiles and own only sporty convertible exotic imports for their high performance, investment and luxe appeal. These autos on display were impressive and definitely eye candy! Only limited to about 2 blocks of cars to see and as a car enthusiast, I expected see more, more, more... There are handful more cars on exhibit inside the VIP tents. If you can't make the trip to the best concours which are on Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills and at the Pebble Beach golf course in Pebble Beach... La Jolla Concours D'Elegance which is seaside is a worthwhile visit and gets my recommendation. read more

Thanks to a friend, I got complimentary tickets to attend the VIP event on Friday that started at 6-10pm. Took an Uber that dropped us off right in front to avoid parking and walking. The website said 1920s-30s glam but when we got there, it was a safari expedition theme with people in animal print! That's okay, because it seems like a handful of others didn't get the memo either and we had lots of compliments. I was there for the food and drinks, not so much for the cars. There were about 3 cars on display inside the tent. The rest seems to be outside. The VIP area was a bit smaller than I expected. It had an auction area with items going in the upper thousands. About 10 food vendors. Two bars with a set menu. A 360 Photo Booth, except it wasn't on a platform. The camera was up above spinning, which allowed you to have a larger group. Had a live band singing covers and dance floor. The porta-potty was top notch! Each individual stall had carpet floors, sink, a nice toilet with a lever that you step on to flush. When you lock the door, the inside light automatically turns on. From the outside, a light by the handle turns on when it's occupied. Super clean. Plenty of seating every where. The weather shifted from sunshine to cloudy and the wind kicked in at night. No need to worry because there are heaters throughout. They thought of everything! read more

This is my first time attending this event only on Sunday as a VIP, so that's all I can rate. VIP tickets gave you access to a VIP area that served food from many of the local restaurants as well as at least six bars. The gates open at 9 AM, but they're not supposed to serve food until 11 AM. I took several pictures of the chefs and what they were serving, and the drinks we're flowing freely during the whole time. This will be an event that I attend for many years to come. Just to see some of the cars that I used to drive or own back in the 50s 60s and 70s. In the 70s, while I was in undergrad, and my father ran the toy store in LA, where the Ferrari celebrity racing team was based, I was paid to drive exotics from LA down to San Diego. Brought back all those wonderful memories! read more
