Cars begin arriving as the show opens\, and the crowd builds by midday. For those interested in owning\, selling\, or simply viewing automotive excellence\, Cars in the Park delivers a refined but vibrant venue to connect\, discover\, and enjoy. \n \nThe Gasparilla Concours d’Elegance​​​ at the Tampa Bay Golf Course is part of the Mardi Gras-styled weekend of events that draws hundreds of thousands of spectators.
