The Amelia 2025 edition has confirmed late-March plans on Amelia Island, Florida, featuring a marquee concours, a new electric-heritage display, and a charity auction to support regional automotive heritage initiatives.
Event organizers say the week will include the traditional concours d elegance, a public display along Atlantic Avenue, and an auction of rare cars and automobilia. The schedule will emphasize accessibility with extended viewing hours and enhanced wayfinding for first-time visitors. Tickets and weekend passes go on sale soon, with details published on the event’s official site.
Organizers also stress a focus on safety and hospitality, including expanded shuttle service between parking lots, ADA-compliant viewing areas, and a dedicated family zone. A new mobile app will offer live updates, car histories, and interactive maps. The Amelia promises a curated experience that balances classic elegance with modern conveniences.
Event highlights
Leading the new program is an electric-heritage display featuring a dozen electrified classics and reimagined concept cars from the past century. Curators will pair each car with multimedia stories, including design sketches and restoration notes. The display aims to spark dialogue about how electrification reshapes respect for historic vehicles.
Access and tickets
Ticketing will include general admission, premium concours seats, and a behind-the-scenes package for enthusiasts. Children under 12 will be admitted free with an adult ticket. Organizers note several weekend bundles that bundle gallery access with the charity gala, encouraging longer stays and higher grassroots support.
Preview runs of the week’s featured marques suggest a diverse field that spans early art deco sedans to high-performance postwar coupes. Organizers say each display will be accompanied by concise provenance notes, allowing visitors to engage with historic engineering and design. The weeklong program also includes driving tours and hands-on workshops.
Background notes describe The Amelia as a coastal gathering that began in the 1990s and evolved into a premier international concours. The event is renowned for rigorous, transparent judging and for encouraging period-accurate restorations. Its charity component has raised substantial funds for regional automotive heritage initiatives, a focus that amplifies community impact beyond the display of vehicles.
As the 2025 edition approaches, organizers remain focused on accessibility, education, and preserving automotive heritage. The event aligns collectors, historians, and the public through displays, tours, and exclusive sales. Attendees leave with a deeper appreciation for design, engineering, and the stories behind every wheel.
