The Scarsdale Concours d'Elegance will hold their 11th annual event in Scarsdale Village on Sunday October 5 from 10:30 am to 4 pm. The Concours is the second longest event of its kind running in the Eastern United States and this year's show builds on the success of last years 10th Anniversary event.
In 2013 there were 132 participants (plus approximately 25 new vehicles from various sponsors, including BMW, Miller Motorcars, McLaren Greenwich, Pepe Porsche, Mercedes Benz, Cadillac and Infiniti. The event raised over $32,000 for charity for the White Plains Hospital, Scarsdale and Edgemont Family Counseling Service, The Wounded Warriors Family Assistance Fund and the Scarsdale Foundation. This was an increase of 30% over the prior year.
This years Concours is scheduled for Sunday, October 5, 2014, a bit earlier than usual, and they are hoping to enjoy some beautiful early fall weather. There will be live music, featuring the Del Bocas, prizes, food and drink and a great day for the whole family.
This panel of judges will be comprised of distinguished members of the automotive press from various media outlets, including Top Gear, Consumer Reports and Car & Driver.
Public viewing will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will feature over 130 American and European automobiles as well as some displays of new vehicles from various manufacturers and dealerships. Viewing ends at 4:00 p.m. with final judging and an awards ceremony, followed by a champagne toast to the winners.
Beneficiaries will include three very worthy local charities; Scarsdale and Edgemont Family Counseling Service, the Warrior and Family Assistance Fund and the Scarsdale Foundation.
