WHO WE ARE
Set on the grounds of the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club, the Santa Barbara Invitational Concours is a refined celebration of automotive artistry, elevated lifestyle, and philanthropic purpose. Framed by the iconic coastal beauty of California’s American Riviera, the polo fields transform into an open-air gallery showcasing exceptional automobiles, each selected for its provenance, rarity, and historical significance. From renowned European marques to legendary competition cars and visionary post-modern design, the collection represents the pinnacle of automotive craftsmanship. The weekend unfolds as an immersive experience, featuring a curated coastal driving tour, private hospitality pavilions, and an elegant evening celebration that brings together collectors, sponsors, and enthusiasts. As a nonprofit, the Santa Barbara Invitational Concours channels this prestige into meaningful community impact, supporting educational programs, volunteer engagement, and initiatives that inspire future generations while honoring the enduring legacy of the automobile.
