Schedule Announcement for the 23rd Annual Amelia Island Concours to be made March 8 at 8:30 AM EST

From our friends at the Amelia Island Concours:

Thanks to everyone who has inquired about the status of Sunday’s 23rd Annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Last year we made the decision to move Sunday’s Concours d’Elegance to Saturday, a choice that was rewarded with sunny skies, strong attendance and a show field of almost 800 vehicles.

As of today, the weather predictions for 2018 looks similar to the pattern we experienced in 2017 with forecasted sunny skies on Saturday and a chance of rain Sunday morning. Of course, anyone who has lived or vacationed in Florida knows that weather predictions can fluctuate vastly, even in a day. With this uncertainty in mind, we want to wait and make the decision on whether or not we will move Sunday’s show to Saturday on Thursday March 8 at 8:30am.

NOTE: If we do make the change, Cars & Coffee at the Concours will still take place on Saturday in conjunction with the Concours.

Please keep a close eye on our social media channels and your email for the announcement.
