Carillon Point welcomes the return of the 8th annual Kirkland Concours d' Elegance on September 12th with a display of twelve historic classes of automobiles, sidecar motorcycles, and vintage boats.
Among car enthusiasts this family oriented event has quickly become recognized as one of the premier concours events in the country with participant vehicles selected from across the United States and Canada. All profits from this spectacular event benefit uncompensated children's care at Seattle Children's Hospital and Evergreen Hospital Medical Center, with more than one million dollars already donated to these needy recipients.
This esteemed 'contest of elegance' is judged by national and international experts. One award is judged and presented by thirteen Junior Judges, a group of 6th through 9th graders from various Lake Washington School District schools. These Junior Judges also gain an understanding and appreciation for automotive history, the restoration process, and the mechanics of a non-profit event. Nearly three hundred volunteers, most of whom return each year, make this event possible.
