One of the wonderful things about Noosa Concours d'Elegance is that no two visits are ever quite the same. From the early morning anticipation to the spectacular afternoon departure parade, every part of the day offers a different experience.
Early Morning: Feel the Excitement Build
For those who love the energy of a major event coming to life, arrive early. As Hastings Street closes to traffic and the cars begin making their way into position, there is an unmistakable sense of anticipation in the air.
Watch the collection arrive, enjoy the excitement as owners prepare their prized vehicles for judging, and experience the buzz as Hastings Street transforms into Australia's most beautiful automotive boulevard. By 10.30am, the event officially opens, and the street comes alive with thousands of visitors soaking up the atmosphere.
Midday: A More Relaxed Experience
If you prefer a quieter visit, consider arriving after midday.
As the morning crowds begin to ease, you'll have more space to admire the extraordinary collection at your own pace. It's the perfect time to take a closer look at the craftsmanship, design and history behind each vehicle.
Many of our volunteer stewards remain with the displays throughout the day and are passionate enthusiasts with an incredible depth of knowledge. They're always happy to share fascinating stories about the cars, making your visit even more rewarding.
You'll also enjoy easier access to the Concours Collection on Hastings Street, the Supercar Circle in Noosa Woods and the Brabham 60th Anniversary Collection.
Late Afternoon: The Grand Departure
As the afternoon draws to a close, the atmosphere changes once again.
The crowds become more relaxed, the light softens for spectacular photography, and anticipation builds for one of the day's most iconic moments, the departure parade.
Watching more than 60 extraordinary vehicles start their engines and make their way along Hastings Street is a memorable spectacle, with the sound, elegance and theatre of the procession providing the perfect finale to the day.
Whether you visit for the excitement of the morning, the relaxed pace of the afternoon or the unforgettable departure parade, Noosa Concours offers a unique experience at every hour.
