Royal Botanic Garden Sydney 10:00 am
The Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance is back for its eighth year, bringing rare, classic and ultra-luxury vehicles to the Southern Hemisphere’s most glamorous automotive showcase.
To celebrate its return, organisers are adding a brand-new (and completely free) opening event to the program. On February 26, head to Bennelong Lawn for a sneak peek at 30 of the world’s finest cars, set against the sparkling backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
Drop by between 10am and 12pm to admire the display, then catch the cars as they depart in convoy over the Harbour Bridge at 1pm en route to Cockatoo Island, where the main event runs from February 27 to March 1.
Want more than just a preview? Time Out readers can score 20 per cent off tickets to the three-day event on Cockatoo Island by using the code 6XP6K6X2 at checkout.
Across the weekend, expect everything from vintage classics to cutting-edge supercars and hypercars, plus the latest in energy-efficient vehicles. There’s also a curated wine and cheese experience each day, and on the final day an international panel of experts will crown the prestigious Best in Show.
