What to Wear

The Concours is an outdoor event that takes place at one of America’s most beautiful locales, the famed eighteenth fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links. Attire should be comfortable and convenient for walking and picnicking. Styles range from dressy to resort casual. Temperatures are often cool in the morning and evening, and warm during the day, so layering is recommended.

Your event ticket must also be visible at all times. A lanyard will be provided to you for this purpose on the day of the event.

What to Bring

To fully enjoy your day at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, you might want to bring these items: comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a sweater or jacket, handy wipes, a camera, and a blanket for picnicking.

Where to Eat

Sandwiches, salads, and beverages are all available at concession stands on the event show field. The Pebble Beach Market, located near The Lodge at Pebble Beach conference center, also has a wonderful selection of take-out deli items. Two restaurants — the Tap Room and the Gallery Restaurant — are located on the grounds and are open to the public, but seating is limited and is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
