Concours d’Elegance at Carillon Park

Sunday, September 14, 2025, 10:30am–4:00pm:

Concours d’Elegance

Held each September, Concours d’Elegance is Dayton’s premier antique and classic automobile and motorcycle show. Guests travel from across the map to witness this breathtaking display of “art on wheels”—some of the finest vehicles in the country.

Dayton Concours at Carillon Historical Park features around 200 antique and classic automobiles and motorcycles, and vehicles are judged for around 30 awards. While the theme changes year-to-year, nationally-recognized automotive artists, hand-built model cars, and other auto-themed attractions are standard for this acclaimed event.

Concours d’Elegance occurs on Sunday, but the weekend kicks off the night before with the Concours d’Elegance Preview Party—a casual, public event on the grounds of Carillon Historical Park. The Saturday evening gala previews select Concours automobiles and feature an automotive art pavilion, music, silent auction, food, and beverages.

This year, Dayton Concours celebrates Chrysler's 100th anniversary. Founded in 1925 from the remnants of the Maxwell Motor Co.—which once operated plants in Dayton—Chrysler has grown into an American automotive icon. The 2025 event will also honor the 150th birthday of Ferdinand Porsche by showcasing his namesake vehicles.

At the Dayton Concours, every vehicle is either meticulously restored or preserved in original condition. Guests can admire everything from early 1900s automobiles to ‘50s and ‘60s classics, along with an array of vintage motorcycles. All entries are judged in multiple classes and compete for coveted special awards.

All proceeds benefit Carillon Historical Park in its mission to inspire generations by connecting them with the unique people, places, and events that changed Dayton and the world.
