Set against a backdrop of white-masonry architecture and cobblestone streets, Alys Beach will host an elite, highly curated collection of over 150 rare and high-performance automobiles. The seamless collaboration pairs the town's unparalleled design with world-class automotive artistry.

The weekend opens Friday evening, October 2, along South Charles Street with an open-air showcase featuring the most exceptional entries of the show. Guests (21+) can enjoy a cocktail reception followed by an exquisite dining experience nestled right among the featured vehicles.

On Saturday, October 3, the weekend culminates with the Grand Tour, a family-friendly exhibition spanning the town's charming streets. The lively main event features live music, streamed sports, interactive activations, and curated merchants alongside food and beverages available for purchase. For an upgraded outing, the new VIP Tent Experience (21+) offers a standalone ticket granting access to the Grand Tour as well as an exclusive, elevated lounge within the event footprint.

The Grand Tour offers something for guests of all ages, with face painting, a glitter bar, kid-friendly mocktails, a CAA Hat Bar, and a photo booth in Central Park. Guests can also stop by the Pinewood Derby station at the corner of Nonesuch and North Somerset, facilitated by Cub Scout Pack 562. Purchase a carved pinewood car, decorate it, build it, and put it to the test on the race track. Cars and supplies will be available while supplies last.

While exploring the event, guests are invited to shop a curated collection of Exhibitor Booths from 1–4 PM on Saturday.
