Event Description:

The Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival & Concours d’Elegance, now celebrating its tenth year, is considered one of the top events of its kind on the East coast and is unique in both its format and
ambiance.  With over 13,000 people attending the event in 2010 and close to 15,000 expected in 2011, this multi-day Motoring Festival represents a new approach to the automotive event. See the
uniqueness of our event by visiting our website ( www.hhiconcours.com).

The Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, benefits the Driving Young America Charitable Fund, which provides support to the education, inspiration and creativity of youth who have an interest in the design, performance, restoration, safety and historical significance of the automobile.

The Motoring Festival begins with the Savannah Speed Classic (October 28 – October 30) on
Savannah’s Hutchinson Island at the newly reopened Grand Prize of America Road Course situated on the grounds of The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa and adjacent to the City’s famed River Street.   The week continues with Motoring Festival activities moving to Hilton Head Island (November 4 – 6).   The public event activities begin with Saturday’s Car Club Jamboree which this year features Germany as its European marque and attracts Car Clubs invited from the region.  On both Saturday and Sunday crowds will visit the Motoring Midway featuring sponsor displays, special exhibits such as the “Road to the Future” with the latest in concept cars, vintage boats and a number of special attractions.   The Hilton Head Island event culminates with Sunday’s prestigious Concours d’Elegance, a Best of Show competition for 150 of the finest classic automobiles the country has to offer.
