The Miami Concours, co-owned by the Miami Design District, the Concours Group, and DuPont REGISTRY, transcends the traditional car show format by integrating high fashion and architecture into one dynamic experience. This year’s event, held from February 16th-17th, included a program of VIP events, immersive tours, and exclusive experiences setting a new standard in automotive excellence. At the heart, three red carpet streets within the Miami Design District, where attendees could take a closer look at some of the world’s most luxurious car brands. The showcase placed automotive craftsmanship at the forefront, featuring names like CURATED, Prestige Imports, F1 Miami, and more.
The Concours Group, led by automotive visionaries John Temerian Jr., Ronnie Vogel, and Brett David, have shaped the automotive landscape since its start in 2016. Spearheading the event, they have transformed the Miami Concours into one of the country’s premier motorized events integrating post-war automobiles, modern design, and engineering brilliance. Along with the Miami Design District, a unique neighborhood that combines high-end shopping, museums, restaurants, and major art installations, owned and operated by Miami Design District Associates.

This inclusive approach not only made for a diverse audience but also heightened the event’s role as a cultural celebration within the vibrant Miami Design District.
