Concours du Soleil 2008 - 2026
Since 2008, the Albuquerque Community Foundation and the Cinco Amigos have proudly presented Concours du Soleil, a premier fundraising event held each year during the third week of September. The weekend begins with an elegant black-tie gala on Saturday evening and culminates in a public automotive showcase the following day.
Set on the scenic grounds of a private North Valley estate, Concours du Soleil has featured a stunning collection of nearly one hundred automobiles annually, thoughtfully curated and displayed within a themed outdoor setting that celebrates design, performance, and automotive heritage.
In May of 2026, the experience expands beyond New Mexico with a special enthusiast journey to Sedona. Participants drive exotic and high-performance vehicles through Arizona’s breathtaking desert landscape, enjoying curated routes along winding canyon roads and iconic red rock vistas. The trip offered a unique opportunity to build community among collectors and enthusiasts while experiencing luxury hospitality, memorable dining, and the thrill of driving remarkable automobiles in one of the Southwest’s most stunning settings.
Concours du Soleil 2026
Together with our generous sponsors and supporters, Concours du Soleil has raised more than $1,000,000, while also helping to grow a permanent endowment that now exceeds $750,000. These funds have made a meaningful impact across our community.
We also recognize that Concours du Soleil would not be the iconic event it is today without the passion and participation of New Mexico’s car owners, who have graciously shared their remarkable vehicles with us year after year. Their enthusiasm and commitment continue to bring this celebration of automotive excellence to life.
We are excited for the REUNION TOUR on September 19th and 20th, 2026 returning to Los Ranchos in its traditional form with its iconic gala, live music and of course, cars from across the century!
