The short version
The 70th Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance weekend ran June 26–28, 2026, with the main judged field Sunday, June 28 from 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. on the fairways at Crystal Springs Golf Course (6650 Golf Course Drive, Burlingame). Official ticket materials listed Friday’s Start Your Engines kickoff party, Saturday’s Tour d’Elegance road rally, and Sunday general admission with early-bird / online / gate tiers ($60 / $70 / $80 in 2026 listings) plus a separate Patron Pavilion hospitality SKU. Children 12 and under entered free with an adult on Sunday. Free onsite parking was standard; preferred fairway parking sold separately. For Peninsula and San Francisco households this is the local charity concours: volunteer-run, closer than August’s Monterey Car Week tickets, and a different scale from Pebble Beach.
Background
Organizers describe Hillsborough among the longest continually running West Coast concours. The Hillsborough Concours Foundation directs proceeds to Ability Path, The Guardsmen, and the Hillsborough Schools Foundation. The Crystal Springs fairways sit just off I-280: a Peninsula lawn product, not a Pebble Beach replica.

Planning tips
- Sunday lawn tickets are the default if you mainly want cars. Friday party and Saturday tour are separate paid products that sell differently.
- I-280 Black Mountain Road access is convenient until mid-morning. Preferred parking sells out; free lots still mean a walk across the course.
- No pets at Crystal Springs Golf Course per ticket materials. Leave the dog at home.
- Fog and wind off the Crystal Springs Reservoir are normal in June. Layers beat a show-day outfit planned for inland heat.
- Do not treat this as a substitute for Pebble Beach or The Quail. Different month, different ticket economy, different drive from the Bay.
- Watch hillsboroughconcours.org for the next edition. The late-June Sunday pattern is traditional but not automatic.
Common questions
- When was Hillsborough Concours 2026?
- The weekend ran June 26–28, 2026, with the main concours Sunday, June 28 at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Burlingame. Confirm the next edition on hillsboroughconcours.org.
- Is this the same as Pebble Beach?
- No. Pebble Beach Concours is the August Monterey Car Week flagship on the 18th fairway. Hillsborough is a Peninsula charity concours at Crystal Springs in late June: closer for SF / San Mateo County households and a different ticket scale.
- Do I need a Patron Pavilion ticket?
- Only if you want the catered hospitality tent and preferred parking bundle. General admission covers the show field; Patron Pavilion is a separate hospitality SKU that sells out early.
- Can I bring my dog?
- No. 2026 ticket materials state no pets at Crystal Springs Golf Course. Plan pet care before you leave I-280.
