The Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance is a nationally recognized event that attracts the finest and most distinctive automobiles and motorcycles the first weekend after Labor Day each September. And it returns for its 29th year from Friday, September 11th through Sunday, September 13th on the grounds of Radnor Hunt in Malvern. The concept of the event is far removed from the typical “car show.” It is an invitational, cars are carefully and individually selected and represent an educational and aesthetic experience for guests. Each year, there is a distinct and exciting balance between historic, classic, sports and performance racing cars.
The Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance encompasses three days of activities, beginning with the Friday evening barbecue, followed by the famous Bill O’Connell Memorial Road Rally through the scenic countryside of Chester County on Saturday morning, culminating in a catered lunch.
Saturday Morning’s Cars & Coffee is presented by Classic Auto Mall.
On Saturday evening, the Black Tie Gala & Silent Auction is the prelude to the main event on Sunday, the Concours d’Elegance. Each year, the Concours event, an invitation-only show, has a featured marque, a vehicle type or coachbuilder and a motorcycle make.
The 2026 Radnor Hunt Concours d’Elegance featured marque is Bentley. The featured sporting marques are ARCA cars and pre WWI & WWII racing cars. American Pioneer Cars to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary will also be featured in a special vintage class for 2026.
The Shoppes d’Elegance features a variety of both automotive and non-automotive merchants offering specialized shopping for Concours attendees.
Finally, new to Concours this year is RADnor – a carefully curated celebration of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s sports & exotic cars that captured the next generation of enthusiasts. RADnor is presented by Wistar Motors and is included with Concours admission on Sunday.
