Concours d’Elegance is a French-derived name which means a competition of elegance, and it is an event where prestigious vehicles are displayed and judged.

Kenya is lucky to be on the calendar, hosting the event alongside other countries such as the United States, India, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Italy, Canada, Hungary, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Slovakia, Germany, France, and Belgium.

The event is the only actively running one in Africa and, annually since 1971, it has been showcasing premium classic cars and motorcycles. The event in Kenya is organized by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club Kenya.
