COVID-19 – 2020 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Cancelled

It will still be breathtaking, so to speak, post Covid.

Officials of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance have decided to cancel the Show which was scheduled for 16 August 2020. The car selection process for the 70th Pebble Beach Concours was recently completed, and entrants were notified of their acceptance earlier this month. The acceptance letters stressed that these cars were invited to appear at the 70th celebration — even if it was delayed.  With the cancellation of this year’s event, the 70th Pebble Beach Concours will now take place on Sunday, August 15, 2021.

“My heart goes out to all of the people who are involved in the Pebble Beach Concours and who are impacted by this decision,” “Many of our entrants have been working on a special car for years, and this was to be their moment,” said Concours Chairman Sandra Button. “Some of our overseas entrants were nearing the point of putting their cars on boats and planes, and their own travel arrangements have long been made. The same is true for many of our international cadre of judges.”

“Pebble Beach Company has been pleased to host this event since its beginning, and we look forward to hosting the 70th celebration in 2021,” said Company CEO William L. Perocchi. “This event does more than celebrate great cars; it benefits so many people in need. Ultimately, the continued health and safety of everyone associated with the Concours is our number one priority, which led us to this difficult decision.”

All tickets purchased to date for the 70th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will be valid for the event on Sunday, August 15, 2021. Ticket purchasers who cannot attend the 70th Concours on its new 2021 date, can request a refund by emailing [email protected].

Concours d’Elegance

First conducted in 1950, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance (www.pebblebeachconcours.net) has grown to be one of the world’s premier celebrations of the automobile. Only the “most beautiful and historic cars” are invited to appear on the famed 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links, and connoisseurs of art and style gather to admire these masterpieces.
