Celebrating Art and Innovation: Sculpture in Motion at the Arizona Concours d’Elegance

The Arizona Concours d’Elegance returns on Sunday, January 18, 2026, to the Scottsdale Civic Center with the theme “Sculpture in Motion.” The 8th edition will feature about 100 professionally curated dream cars and high-value collector vehicles presented in partnership with Scottsdale Arts, staged as an upscale garden-party-style lifestyle event.​

Event highlights

The 2026 Concours will showcase 15 judged classes, including a featured celebration of the 140th anniversary of Mercedes‑Benz, a dune buggy and beach cruiser class, 125 years of Indian motorcycles, mid‑century station wagons, post‑war European sports and racing cars, and exotic supercars from 2000–2025. Awards include class trophies, special awards, two Best of Show honors (pre‑ and post‑war), and a favorite costume prize.

Philanthropy and partners

Proceeds support Make‑A‑Wish Arizona, the founding chapter of the wish‑granting nonprofit, as well as local artists and arts programs through Scottsdale Arts. Make‑A‑Wish children also help judge vehicles and present a special trophy, reinforcing the event’s community and charitable mission.​

Tickets and logistics

Tickets went on sale August 1, with details about entry, vehicle submissions, and sponsorships available on ArizonaConcours.org. The event positions itself as a signature January celebration of automotive design and regional car culture on the Scottsdale Civic Center lawns.​
