Car collectors and enthusiasts from around the world will gather for the 2025 Concorso Italiano at California’s scenic Monterey Peninsula at the Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course (Monterey) for the 40th anniversary of Concorso Italiano on Saturday, August 16, 2025.

The 2025 Concorso Italiano will feature over 800 Italian automobiles and motorcycles on display, according to official event organizers. This includes:

The event typically showcases vehicles from 20+ Italian marques, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, De Tomaso, and Fiat.

Over 800 famous and rare Italian collector cars will gather for one spectacular day at Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course in Monterey, CA – making Concorso Italiano the largest celebration of Italian automotive excellence in the United States.

The prestigious event, held at the Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course, serves as a centerpiece of the internationally renowned Monterey Car Week (Monterey, CA), a globally celebrated automotive festival for world-class collector cars that transforms the peninsula into a mecca for car lovers each August.

This year’s celebration promises an extraordinary showcase of Italian automotive excellence, featuring rare and significant vehicles from Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Maserati and other legendary marques.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be part of organizing one of the most anticipated automotive celebrations of the year,” said Clarence Habovstak, Director of Business Development. “Concorso Italiano fosters friendship while celebrating everything we love about Italian culture, design, passion and excellence.”

Habovstak joins veteran organizers Tanya Kosta and Samantha Tobias, who have been instrumental in shaping the event’s legacy.

The 2025 edition will feature special displays highlighting Italian automotive innovation, including one-off vehicles and engine exhibits.

Attendees can explore the popular Concorso Piazza, filled with Italian-inspired food, fashion, and automotive merchandise, while enjoying live entertainment and the prestigious awards ceremony.

“My goal is to recapture the spirit of our early days, when guests gathered to reconnect with old friends and forge new connections,” said Chairman Tanya Kosta. “The car owners, clubs and enthusiasts are the heart of Concorso Italiano. Our 40th anniversary will thank them for making this event so special.”
