ABOUT CONCOURS

The Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance is the most acclaimed and prestigious wooden boat show in North America. But the show doesn’t rest on reputation. The Concours experience is enhanced every single year to earn it. Over the course of its 50-year legacy, Concours has created its own meticulous 100-point judging system and expanded its exhibitor showcase while consistently displaying the most well-preserved wooden boats on Earth. Each show is designed to draw in a distinct group of boats with a celebration of a different Marque Class each year. The move to Obexer’s Boat Company established a now iconic boating tradition – the Roar-Off under the Olson Bridge. In just the past few years, the Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance has added an intimate tour of the exhibitor boats with our past Chief Judge, Terry Fiest.

The enhancements to the Concours experience go well beyond the boats. Guests of the show can sip wines expertly picked from wineries across the Western United States, cool off with a handcrafted cocktail as they shop luxury brands and high-end boutiques, and listen to live jazz as they indulge in a meal catered by a local chef. It is all tailored around the beauty of mahogany and Lake Tahoe to create an immersive ambiance of elegance.
