The Cigar City Concours d’Elegance would like to express our appreciation to all participants, sponsors and spectators that joined us for the Second Annual Concours d’Elegance in 2019. Tampa Bay Downs will once again serve as the venue for the Third Annual Concours d’Elegance. We will be updating the website in the coming weeks on the 2021 event and very much look forward to welcoming old friends and new from around the World
‘Concours d’Elegance’ is a term of French origin that means a “competition of elegance” and refers to an event where prestigious vehicles are displayed and judged. Cigar City is a moniker bestowed on Tampa and Ybor City reflecting the rich history and culture of the area.
The Cigar City Concours d’Elegance is proud to continue the prominence of such a rich history with the presentation of the third annual Concours d’Elegance on the grounds of Tampa Bay Downs. The Concours field will display rare, unusual and unique antique, classic and special interest automobiles garnered from museums, private collections and individual owners.
