The 2025 Greenwich Concours d’Elegance, one of the Northeast’s most anticipated automotive events, is set to return from May 30 through June 1 at the scenic Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich, Connecticut. Known for bringing together the world’s finest vehicles with a distinct sense of refinement, this year’s edition promises an enriched lineup of curated collections, immersive experiences, and a new luxury prelude designed to raise the bar for the concours weekend.
Curated by Hagerty, the event continues its legacy of showcasing exceptional cars—ranging from pre-war classics and design-forward prototypes to neo-classics and race-bred icons—while introducing elevated lifestyle elements that reflect the evolving landscape of automotive connoisseurship.
Honoring an Icon: Ralph Marano Named Grand Marshal
The 2025 edition will honor Ralph Marano, one of the world’s foremost collectors of Packards, as Grand Marshal. Marano is widely regarded for his extraordinary collection of 85 concours-level Packards, including a complete lineup of Packard Darrins from 1937 through 1942—a feat unmatched by any other collector. His presence lends a personal touch of heritage and authority to a weekend already steeped in craftsmanship and history.

Hosted along Greenwich Harbor, this exclusive evening will feature culinary creations by top chefs, a hosted bar, live DJ sets, and curated lounge spaces—all under an atmosphere of effortless style. Reverie marks a notable evolution for the Concours, adding a lifestyle-forward dimension that complements the automotive celebration with sensory richness and social energy.
