The story

Greenwich Concours d'Elegance in Greenwich

The Greenwich Concours d'Elegance is an annual classic car show that has taken over Roger Sherman Baldwin Park on the Greenwich, Connecticut waterfront every Memorial Day weekend since 1996. Presented by Hagerty, the three day event pairs judged competition across Concours de Sport and Concours d'Elegance divisions with car parades, drawing more than three hundred vintage American and European automobiles along with collectors, marque clubs and spectators from across the Northeast.

Roger Sherman Baldwin Park sits where Greenwich meets Long Island Sound, a stretch of harbor lawn better known for sailboats and summer picnics than for engines.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets the Greenwich Concours apart is its setting: a harborside park on Long Island Sound rather than a golf course or fairground, giving spectators water views behind rows of pre-war classics, postwar sports cars and American muscle

02

The mystery stays covered

Now in its fourth decade, the show splits judging into a Concours de Sport class for competition-bred machines and a Concours d'Elegance class for formal coachbuilt automobiles, so a 1930s Alfa Romeo and a 1950s Maserati race car can both take top honors on the same afternoon

03

The city starts moving

Marque clubs, museum-owned cars and private collectors compete side by side, and the three day format lets visitors watch cars arrive, get judged and then parade past the harbor

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

What moves first

Living ritual

The event grew out of New England's postwar sports car culture and the concours tradition imported from European automobile clubs

Water and renewal

Living ritual

where cars are judged on originality and presentation rather than raced

The sacred route

Living ritual

Splitting the show into a Concours de Sport class for competition machines and a Concours d'Elegance class for formal coachbuilt cars reflects that dual heritage

The local code

Living ritual

and the choice of Roger Sherman Baldwin Park keeps the show tied to Greenwich's identity as a historic harbor town on Long Island Sound
