The Bay Harbor Concours Experience
Extraordinary automobiles. Exceptional settings. An unforgettable autumn weekend.
The Bay Harbor Concours d’Elegance brings together automotive heritage, waterfront beauty, and refined hospitality along the shores of Lake Michigan.
From the exhibition fairways of Bay Harbor Golf Club to the waterfront charm of Bay Harbor Village, each setting offers a different way to enjoy the celebration. For guests seeking an even more exclusive experience, the journey extends to Mackinac Island through the Ultimate Concours Experience.
This is not simply a venue. It is a setting revealed.
The Waterfront Fairways

This is the heart of the Bay Harbor Concours d’Elegance—where exceptional cars and an extraordinary landscape come together.d.

The celebration continues in Bay Harbor Village, where Main Street and the marina provide a welcoming waterfront setting for automotive enthusiasts and guests.
During the Concours, participating car clubs will have the opportunity to showcase their members’ own vehicles in designated village display areas. These gatherings bring a personal dimension to the weekend—inviting owners to share their automobiles, tell their stories, and connect with others who share their passion.
For visitors, the village offers the pleasure of discovering distinctive cars and meeting the people who cherish them, while enjoying local shops, restaurants, and the beauty of the harbor.
Whether displaying your own vehicle, gathering with your club, or simply exploring, Bay Harbor Village invites you to become part of the Concours celebration.
A Horizon Remembered
There are events — and then there are places that linger long after the weekend concludes.
At Bay Harbor, automobiles are set against water, architecture, and autumn light in a way that feels inevitable rather than assembled. The fairways open to the lake. The village descends to the marina. The horizon frames it all.
For one weekend each October, the shoreline becomes an estate of design, movement, and memory.
The Bay Harbor Concours is not simply attended — it is experienced, and remembered.
