The short version
Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week returns Thursday, October 1 through Sunday, October 4, 2026 across Newport. The week’s public highlights include a Supercar Tour start at Fort Adams, Broad Arrow’s Audrain Auction on Friday at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Saturday’s inaugural Supercar Concours at Fort Adams, and Sunday’s Audrain Newport Concours d’Elegance on the Fort Adams lawn. Buy the specific day’s ticket — this is not one wristband for everything.
Background
Audrain has turned Newport’s museum-and-mansion geography into a compact East Coast Motor Week — denser walking than Amelia’s island resort sprawl, with Ocean Drive and Fort Adams doing the scenic work Monterey assigns to 17-Mile Drive.

Planning tips
- Sunday concours at Fort Adams is the lawn climax; Saturday’s Supercar Concours is a separate Fort Adams product — read SKUs carefully.
- Broad Arrow’s Audrain Auction is Friday, October 2 at the International Tennis Hall of Fame — bidder registration is not a general Motor Week pass.
- Newport lodging fills early in leaf season. Book before you assume a same-day ferry fix.
- Reconfirm the week-at-a-glance on audrainconcours.com the week you travel — private vs public events sit side by side.
