About the Chico Concours d’Elegance
The Chico Concours d’Elegance is Butte County California’s premier annual car show. Held every year since 1979, the Chico Concours features a full day of music, friendship, entertainment, and beautiful automobiles in the park-like atmosphere of Butte Creek Country Club.
The Chico Concours was established to direct and coordinate a community effort to bring truly beautiful automobiles to Chico, California. The car show has been made possible through the efforts of a great many people.
