The short version
The 52nd Forest Grove Concours d’Elegance ran Sunday, July 19, 2026 on the Pacific University campus in Forest Grove (2043 College Way): Greater Portland’s scholarship-driven concours lawn west of the city. Official ticket materials listed gates 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., with adult pricing tiers of $22 early bird, $25 standard online, and $30 day-of, plus discounted senior / student / military and youth 12–18 rates. Organizers describe more than 300 classics on the field, with proceeds supporting Rotary scholarships for local students. Saturday vineyard-tour and owner-dinner products were separate from Sunday lawn admission. The organizer home page already points to Sunday, July 18, 2027 for the next show.
Background
Founded in 1973 and staged with the Rotary Club of Forest Grove, this concours is a Westside college-lawn tradition rather than a Monterey Car Week ticket. It fills a different July slot than Rose Cup at PIR the prior weekend.

Planning tips
- Sunday lawn tickets are the product most households want. Saturday tour and dinner SKUs are separate.
- Admission excludes parking. Budget time for campus lots and a walk; Preferred Parking Corral passes required pre-registration in 2026 materials.
- No pets on the grounds per the ticket page.
- Forest Grove is about 45–60 minutes west of central Portland depending on US-26 traffic. Leave earlier than you think if you want gates at 8:30 a.m.
- Do not treat this as a substitute for Pebble Beach or Hillsborough. Different ticket economy and a Rotary scholarship mission.
- Next published date on forestgroveconcours.org: Sunday, July 18, 2027. Reconfirm tickets there.
