=== The Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance & Motoring Festival, honoring rich tradition with southern flair, will curate a rare collection of automotive delights set against a distinctive Lowcountry backdrop that can only be found here. Since its inception in 2002, the Hilton Head Island Concours has continued to elevate every aspect of this unique Lowcountry lifestyle event into an art form. Each day of the event features a different collection, a different automotive art form, and each collection represents a moment in time that will never be repeated. An intricately designed multi-day curation in celebration of the art of the automobile comprised of:

Friday, November 03: Flights & Fancy Aeroport Gala (see separate listing)

Saturday, November 04:

Car Club Showcase – Over 20 clubs fill the show fields for a fun day at the Port Royal Golf Club. Not your typical cars and coffee-style event, invited clubs select the members to represent their club. Nearly 200 cars will fill the 1st and 18th fairways of the Port Royal Golf Club’s Planters Row golf course and compete for top awards.

Aero Expo – Admission included with Car Club Showcase ticket. Located a short distance from the host venue at the Port Royal Golf Club, the Aero Expo offers a first-class journey through the past, present and future of the auto and aviation timeline. Vintage aircraft from the past as well as new and advanced aircraft will be on display. These splendid flying machines will be complimented side by side with comparable driving machines. Classic automobile examples as well as new and advanced automobiles will be on display including the latest BMW, McLaren and Porsche models.

Motoring Festival After Party – Admission included with Car Club Showcase ticket. Just because the awards have been handed out doesn’t mean the party has to stop. Join us for a party worth staying for. A full cash bar will be available at the centrally positioned Classics Lounge among some of the event’s special exhibits, and tastings will be offered from South Carolina distilleries and breweries. Live entertainment will keep the party going!

Sunday, November 05: Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance – Nearly 200 vehicles and 75 judges from across North America will enter the 1st and 18th fairways of Port Royal Golf Club’s Planter’s Row Golf Course on Sunday, November 5, but only one will leave with the title of Best of Show.
