The 2025 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance marked a significant milestone, celebrating its 30th anniversary with an impressive showcase of over 275 historically significant vehicles across 35 meticulously curated classes. Held on March 8 at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, the event attracted approximately 25,000 to 30,000 attendees, underscoring its status as a premier automotive gathering. ​

A highlight of the event was the honoring of four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Hélio Castroneves, reflecting The Amelia's deep-rooted connection to motorsports. The concours also featured a diverse array of vehicles, including Corvettes with racing history at Sebring and all seven generations of IROC race cars, catering to a wide spectrum of automotive enthusiasts. ​

Beyond the display of classic automobiles, The Amelia offered a variety of experiences, such as the Cars & Community event and a two-day Broad Arrow auction, which collectively contributed to an estimated economic impact of $8.7 million for Northeast Florida. The event's commitment to philanthropy was evident, with charitable contributions totaling more than $4 million over the past three decades, including $150,000 pledged to local nonprofits in the previous year. ​

The 2025 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance not only celebrated automotive excellence but also reinforced its significance as a cultural and philanthropic cornerstone in the community, blending the appreciation of classic cars with meaningful charitable endeavors. The Amelia and Broad Arrow Auctions are divisions under the impressive umbrella of Hagerty, Inc., an American automotive lifestyle and membership company, as well as the world's largest provider of specialty insurance for classic vehicles.
