A bucket-list experience for car enthusiasts and casual attendees alike, the La Jolla Concours celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026 with the theme “Icons of Speed: Historically Significant Super Cars.” The weekend-long event blends world-class automobiles with coastal luxury, drawing collectors, designers and enthusiasts from across the country for a uniquely elevated experience.
The festivities begin on Friday, April 24, with the return of the VIP Opening Soirée, reimagined this year as “Motorvault.” Taking place on the lawn overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the evening will feature bottomless chef-driven tastings from more than 15 of San Diego’s top restaurants, inventive cocktails, live music and an exclusive preview of the weekend’s most extraordinary automobiles under the night sky.

Saturday evening brings the free-to-attend “Porsches & Power on Prospect” showcase, where Prospect Street is transformed into a high-performance display of luxury, exotic and hypercars, accompanied by live music, gallery activations and retail experiences throughout La Jolla Village.
