The prestigious gathering showcases over 300 rare, historic, and cutting-edge hypercars on the rolling fairways of the golf course, delivering an extraordinary visual feast for attendees. While drawing similarities to the famed Pebble Beach Concours , The Quail offers a uniquely focused peer-judged competition format wrapped in casual elegance.

“Over its decades of celebrations, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering has become one of the most esteemed automotive events in the world with a truly one-of-a-kind atmosphere,” said Kai Lermen, Senior Vice President of Peninsula Signature Events. “The Peninsula Signature Events team is thrilled to welcome back elite collectors and enthusiasts, along with our partners, for this monumental occasion.” (Source: The Peninsula Hotels)

What truly separates The Quail from traditional Concours d’Elegance events is its exquisite intersection of historic automotive passion and world-class luxury hospitality. The highly anticipated 2026 Gathering will highlight several extraordinary featured themes, including:

100th Anniversary of Route 66 – Honoring the classic Americana iron that defined the Mother Road.
The Lamborghini Diablo – A tribute to the raw, V12-powered, iconic poster car of the 1990s.
The Legacy of Japanese GTs – Celebrating the precision engineering and skyrocketing value of rare, low-mileage Japanese sports legends.
The Ferrari F40 – A curated spotlight within ‘The Great Ferraris’ class showcasing Maranello’s legendary, limited-production twin-turbo masterpiece.
The Bruce Meyer Collection – A special curation from one of the world’s most renowned automotive curators, emphasizing immaculate provenance and historical significance.

Alongside these featured showcases, the field will display its highly competitive traditional classes. Audiences will discover Pre-War Sports & Racing icons, Post-War Sports and Racing staples, the boundary-pushing The Evolution of the Supercar class, pristine examples of Custom Coachwork, and ultra-rare Sports and Racing Motorcycles.
The Quail Car Show and Main Event Will Feature Over 300 Vintage, Classic, and Historic Collectible Cars On The Grassy Lawns of The Quail Lodge & Golf Club’s Fairways.
This event moves far beyond static vintage displays. Vehicles of this pedigree boast immaculate frame-off restorations, documented racing histories, and museum-grade preservation. Because admission is tightly capped, the intimate environment ensures that visiting car collectors can network directly with builders, master restorers, and legendary automotive designers.
The sensory experience is heavily elevated by The Quail’s unparalleled five-star culinary component. Attendees will enjoy unlimited access to multiple gourmet pavilions preparing regional world cuisines, paired alongside premium champagnes, fine wines, and custom-crafted spirits curated by private mixologists.
Central to the experience is the exclusive Quail Tent, which merges five-star dining with close-proximity access to the newest prototype reveals, limited-edition hypercars, and bespoke luxury automotive lifestyle displays.

The extreme scarcity of access to The Quail is heavily reflected in its ticketing process. Passes are highly coveted across the global car collecting community and are strictly allocated via an online lottery system. The all-inclusive ticket guarantees uncompromised access to gourmet pavilions and rare automotive content without the typical crowd density found at other world-class events.
Adding massive gravity to the 2026 weekend schedule, Broad Arrow Auctions makes its highly anticipated debut as the Official Auction Partner of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. Moving to the western grounds of the venue, Broad Arrow will host an expanded, flagship two-day collector car auction on Thursday, August 13 and Friday, August 14, 2026.
The sale is expected to assemble an elite catalog of roughly 175 world-class collector cars—ranging from investment-grade, numbers-matching classics to rare modern supercars and motorsport icons with unbreakable provenance. Previews begin on Wednesday, August 12, offering serious buyers plenty of sunshine and open space to inspect the consignments amidst the famous Carmel scenery.

The morning begins promptly at 7:00 AM as dedicated Porsche collectors position their immaculate investments across the fairways. While spectator admission is entirely FREE, on-site spectator parking is available for $40 (cash only).
Gourmet coffee and breakfast items will be open for purchase from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM to fuel attendees as the morning fog clears over the display fields.
The highly competitive peer judging process runs from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM, evaluating entries not on basic cleanliness, but on loving maintenance, proper preservation, and presentation.
Dedicated bars stocked with premium beer, wine, and spirits open from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, while a diverse lineup of local food trucks will serve lunch from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM via contactless payment systems. The day culminates in a spectacular Awards Ceremony from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
The Werks Reunion Monterey, a Porsche-only car show organized by the Porsche Club of America (PCA), will feature over 800 classic and rare cars, from race cars and early vintage models to street cars fresh off the assembly line.
A driving highlight for the 2026 Werks Reunion Monterey is the official featured celebration: the 50th Anniversary of the Porsche 924. Originally introduced in 1976, this milestone honors the entire revolutionary generation of front-engine, water-cooled transaxle Porsches (including the 924, 944, 968, and the V8-powered 928).
Once considered outsiders by traditionalists, these innovative, balanced-handling sportscars have skyrocketed in collector demand due to their mechanical rarity, limited production numbers, and unique placement in Zuffenhausen history.
All owners are invited to participate in this grand celebration, regardless of official PCA membership status. Enthusiasts can choose to proudly display their pride and joy within the model-specific Porsche Corral or apply to compete on the formal Porsche Judged Field.
The judged grid spans more than 15 distinct prize categories, honoring everything from matching-numbers, investment-grade vintage standouts to custom-tailored “Outlaw” modifications and pristine modern hypercars.
For younger enthusiasts, the event features the highly educational Juniors Judging, sponsored by Hagerty. Tailored for ages 6–14 and running from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM, this program nurtures the next generation of car collectors by teaching them how to evaluate vehicle condition, design significance, and historical provenance.
Juniors Judging, sponsored by Hagerty, will be available from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM. This activity is best for youth ages 6-14. Please register your child’s information in advance via the official Werks Monterey Juniors Judging portal to secure a roster spot.
Ultimately, Werks Reunion serves as a premier social hub during Monterey’s annual automotive extravaganza. The event layout proudly welcomes specialized registries and independent clubs worldwide, including the 356 Registry, 356 Club, Early 911S Registry, R Gruppe, 914 World, the Porsche Owners Club, and the Porsche Racing Club. They foster an inclusive, high-energy atmosphere focused on the shared passion for elite German engineering.

The 30th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise Revving Up For The Largest Celebration Of Detroit Cars August 15, 2026
2026-08-15 | Woodward Dream Cruise, 22812 Woodward, Ferndale, MI, 48220, United States
(Update: May 2026) — The Woodward Dream Cruise, North America’s premier single-day automotive pilgrimage of classic collector cars, is a spectacular automotive tradition that takes place annually on the third Saturday in August (August 15, 2026)
Attracting over 1.5 million visitors and showcasing more than 40,000 historic vehicles, it stands unchallenged as the largest single-day classic car cruise on the planet.

North America’s largest automotive parade of classic collector cars!!!

A Rich Automotive History
The origins of the Woodward Dream Cruise date back to 1994, when Pamela S. McCullough, the mayor of Ferndale, and Nelson House, a local plumber, conceived a modest roadside gathering to raise funds for a children’s soccer field in their community.
What began as a localized charity meet quickly transformed into a monumental celebration of world-class American horsepower and vintage iron.
The inaugural cruise took place in August 1995 and became an overnight sensation. Originally anticipating a turnout of perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 spectators, the event drew an astonishing 250,000 passionate car enthusiasts, setting the stage for an iconic annual celebration of car culture right in Henry Ford’s historic backyard.
Starting in Pontiac and ending in Ferndale, the Woodward Dream Cruise 2026 will parade over forty thousand vintage Detroit muscle cars up and down Woodward Avenue, attracting over 1.5 million visitors.
Since its mid-90s inception, the Woodward Dream Cruise has experienced extraordinary growth. Today, showcasing more than 40,000 classic cars each year, it has solidified its status as the pinnacle event for observing investment-grade muscle cars, rare limited-production supercars, and immaculate frame-off restorations in motion.
The cruise is a moving museum dedicated to Detroit’s golden era of automotive manufacturing. Spanning a legendary 16-mile stretch along Woodward Avenue, the event encompasses nine host communities from Ferndale to Pontiac.
For the educated collector, it provides a rare opportunity to evaluate automotive provenance, witness numbers-matching big-block engines firing on the open road, and inspect pristine paintwork under natural sunlight.

The 16-mile asphalt strip becomes a vibrant community hub featuring live music, specialized automotive vendors, and family-friendly hospitality spaces.
As car enthusiasts and prominent collectors from around the globe gather to share their passion, the Woodward Dream Cruise continues to be the ultimate highlight of the summer car season, celebrating the deep-rooted culture and legacy of the American automobile.
Launched in 1995, the 16-mile car parade cruises directly up and down Woodward Avenue, passing through the historic cities of Pontiac, Bloomfield Township, Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, Royal Oak, Berkley, Huntington Woods, Pleasant Ridge, and Ferndale.
The Woodward Dream Cruise is a true testament to the power of community and the enduring appeal of classic automobiles. It’s a celebration of Detroit’s rich industrial history and a premier destination for car collectors from around the world to showcase rare, low-mileage survivors and concourse-level restorations alike.

Over 1.5 million people are expected alongside forty thousand historic ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s classic cars for the famous 16-mile Woodward Dream Cruise in the suburbs of northeast Detroit. Ford Motor Company returns as the proud primary sponsor for this monumental automotive celebration.
