Concours d'Elegance

Kirkland Concours d'Elegance

Snuggled up to the shores of Lake Washington with the majestic Olympic Mountain range as a backdrop, Carillon Point welcomes the return of the 8th annual Kirkland Concours d’ Elegance on September 12th with a display of twelve historic classes of automobiles, sidecar motorcycles, and vintage boats.

Among car enthusiasts this family oriented event has quickly become recognized as one of the premier concours events in the country with participant vehicles selected from across the United States and Canada. All profits from this spectacular event benefit uncompensated children’s care at Seattle Children’s Hospital and Evergreen Healthcare Medical Center, with more than one million dollars already donated to these needy recipients.

This esteemed ‘contest of elegance’’ is judged by national and international experts. One award is judged and presented by thirteen Junior Judges, a group of 6th through 9th graders from various Lake Washington School District schools. These Junior Judges also gain an understanding and appreciation for automotive history, the restoration process, and the mechanics of a non-profit event. Nearly three hundred volunteers, most of whom return each year, make this event possible.

Set on the beautiful shores of Lake Washington, the Kirkland Concours is enjoyed by individuals of all ages. Consult the Concours website at www.kirklandconcours.com or the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce for additional details.
