The 49th International Classic Car Meeting Baden-Baden runs from 10 to 12 July 2026 in the Kurpark and along the Kaiserallee. One of Europe’s most storied classic car gatherings, it draws more than 20,000 enthusiasts from across the continent every year.
Concours d’Élégance
A Concours d’Élégance automobile forms the heart of the meeting, awarding 120 prizes across a range of categories — among them honours for a vehicle’s condition, originality and beauty. Any vehicle built up to 1979 may enter. A jury of car designers, engineers and representatives of the organizer judges the entries.
Every edition also puts one particular marque in the spotlight.
History
The first classic car meeting, in 1976, brought together some 35 historic vehicles and about 1,000 visitors. It has grown steadily ever since, and today presents around 350 classic cars spanning more than 100 years of automotive history.
Participation and Tickets
Vehicle owners can find the registration documents online; the deadline to enter is 1 June 2026. Visitors buy their tickets through the online shop.
