The city will sizzle — not from the temperature — but from the heat emitting off the sleek, sculpted, stylish classic and vintage vehicles showcased at the Fort Lauderdale Concours (FTLC) presented by Lotus. Cars and culture intersect at the city’s first concours event which celebrates the automobile and its convergence with pop culture and luxury lifestyle. FTLC is a reinvented “classic car show” showcasing 35 rarely-seen iconic cars accompanied by live music and lifestyle curations with an edgy pop culture influence — such as a high-end collector sneaker display matching selected cars. Featuring a 360º view of the city’s picturesque beach, marina and downtown skyline, the event takes place from 5pm – 10pm on the rooftop event space of the Las Olas Parking Garage at the Intracoastal Waterway 

From now until September 30th, Advanced VIP tickets are $125.00 and $150.00 starting October 1st. Additionally, in collaboration with the renowned Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS, running 27-31 October), a discounted combination ticket can be purchased for the FTLC and FLIBS Windward VIP Experience (Friday only) for $420.00–offering a unique confluence of the automotive and recreational marine enthusiast in an ambiance of grandeur not previously presented.
