The Bridgehampton Concours Returns with Over 300 Historic Cars at The Bridge (Sept. 19-20, 2026)
The Bridgehampton Concours returns on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at The Bridge in Bridgehampton, New York, with a private invitation-only showcase on Saturday, and a public program on Sunday, September 20, 2026. For serious car collectors, this is the kind of event that rewards a close look: post-war sports and competition cars, documented provenance, and a setting built on real racing ground rather than a staged backdrop.
The official event pages say the exhibition is centered on more than 300 cars of great provenance, and the focus remains on post-war sports and competition machinery. The venue, The Bridge, sits on the hallowed site of the original Bridgehampton Race Circuit. This gives the entire show a proper motorsport spine and makes it especially appealing to automobile connoisseurs who care about history, lineage, and period-correct detail.

Featured Cars
The 2026 field is built around post-war sports and competition cars. Most notably, the strongest interest usually goes to machines that have real history behind them: original condition, competition use, documented ownership, or well-done restoration work that stays true to the car’s spec. That is what gives this event its edge for collectors looking beyond shiny paint and into the metal underneath.
Many new luxury cars from Aston Martin, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, and Bentley were on display on the fairways, valued at over $50 million.
The official event description does not publish a full 2026 class list, so any exact entry roster should be treated as fluid until event day. Even so, the marques most closely associated with this kind of field include Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Shelby Cobra. All of these fit naturally with the concours’s competition-car focus and the Bridgehampton racing legacy.
Joining the lineup are other names that commonly fit this venue’s character, including Bugatti, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, and Rolls-Royce. However, only cars actually confirmed on the day should be counted as part of the display. For gearheads, the real draw is not the badge alone; it is the chassis history, the restoration standard, and the paperwork trail.
Because no official 2026 Marque of the Year or anniversary theme is published on the event pages reviewed, none is stated here.
Event Highlights
Saturday, September 19, 2026, is the main concours day, held at The Bridge and reserved for invited participants and confirmed guests. The event page describes a tightly curated show of more than 300 cars, with judging and hospitality built around the idea of presenting significant machines in the exact place where Bridgehampton racing history was made.
Significantly, Sunday, September 20, 2026, opens the door a little wider. The public program at the Bridgehampton Museum runs from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. with complimentary admission. This is followed by a limited-ticket gathering at Topping Rose House from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.. That structure gives motoring enthusiasts and casual fans a second chance to study the cars without the private-event pressure.
The event also carries a charity component. Ticket proceeds from the Sunday program benefit Heart of the Hamptons. In addition, the overall Bridge program remains tied to the broader philanthropic identity that surrounds the Hamptons concours scene.
Guest Hosts & Celebrities
The official Bridgehampton pages reviewed for 2026 do not list a Concours Chairman, honorary judges, or celebrity hosts for The Bridge X 2026 Presented by Mercedes-Benz USA. Because that information is not published there, it should not be guessed at or borrowed from other Hamptons events.
Verified coverage does confirm that Bradford Rand and RAND Luxury are associated with the broader Hamptons concours program. However, that does not substitute for an official Bridge host list. For this article, the safest and most accurate approach is to leave the guest roster unfilled until the event’s own organizers publish it.
The Venue
The Bridge sits in Bridgehampton on land tied to the original Bridgehampton Race Circuit, so the setting carries real motorsport weight. That matters to collectors because the cars are not just displayed in a pretty field; they are shown on ground where racing history actually happened. The venue suits people who want to study provenance, period correctness, and build quality up close, not just take quick photos.

The Bridge opens for the invitation-only concours. Guest check-in and parking are handled off-site at Nova’s Ark, with transfers provided to the main venue. The day is built around the private showcase, judging, and the kind of close inspection that appeals to serious car collectors and automobile connoisseurs.
