Cars, Culture, and Charity in Bridgehampton

Bradford Rand of RAND Luxury will bring one of the Hamptons' most anticipated automotive and lifestyle gatherings back to Bridgehampton when the Hamptons Concours d'Elegance returns Saturday, August 1, 2026, at the private estate of Kenneth and Maria Fishel. The invitation-only event will place more than $100 million in collector automobiles alongside vintage timepieces, artwork, estate jewelry, and luxury shopping experiences, complemented by a catered brunch, fine wines, premium spirits, and other hospitality offerings.

The afternoon will combine the traditions of a classic concours with a distinctly Hamptons sense of personality. Ferraris and Porsches from every era will be evaluated for awards, while collector cars from other marques will compete for the People's Choice Award. Beyond the automotive display, guests will be able to explore an expansive showcase of real estate, artwork, private aviation, jewelry, watches, fashion, home design, and other luxury categories. The event builds upon the format of RAND Luxury's previous Hamptons Concours gatherings, which have paired significant collector cars with brunch, tastings, lifestyle presentations, and charitable fundraising at the Fishels' Bridgehampton estate.

Who Is Presenting the Awards

Adding celebrity sparkle to the judging, author and cultural commentator Candace Bushnell, whose work inspired "Sex and the City," will present the Sexiest Car Award. Restaurateur and celebrity chef Todd English will present the English Award, while television personality Ramona Singer, now appearing on E!'s "The Golden Life," will present the Forever Fabulous Award.

The 2026 Hamptons Concours will benefit the South Fork Natural History Museum & Nature Center and the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation, connecting the glamour of the afternoon with support for environmental education, wildlife appreciation, and animal welfare on the East End.
