Discover the Charm of Ferndale at the 2024 Concours on Main

Published 8/16/24

As summer bids farewell, Ferndale’s iconic Main Street will transform into an open-air gallery of vintage motorcars for the Ferndale Concours on Main on September 15, 2024—a day that promises to captivate both car enthusiasts and casual spectators alike.

What is the Ferndale Concours on Main?

This is not just another car show; it’s a Concours d’Elegance, a term that harks back to 17th century France, when the aristocracy paraded their ornate carriages through the parks of Paris. Over time, these parades evolved, and today, the tradition continues with beautifully restored pre-1998 motorcars competing in an event where only the finest, most meticulously maintained vehicles earn top honors.

What makes Ferndale’s Concours on Main truly special is its unique setting. Unlike traditional Concours events held on manicured lawns, this event takes place on Ferndale’s historic Main Street. Known for its well-preserved Victorian architecture, the street itself becomes a living museum, where automotive history is displayed against the backdrop of a town seemingly frozen in time. The Victorian Village of Ferndale, with its rich history and scenic beauty, offers the perfect location for this prestigious event. Better yet, the general public may attend Ferndale Concours on Main free of charge!

A weekend of elegance and adventure

For competitors, the Concours on Main is more than just a single-day event—it’s an entire weekend filled with activities that will delight. Whether you’re a local resident or visiting from afar, this weekend offers a chance to immerse yourself in the charm and culture of Ferndale and the North Coast redwoods region.
