As one of the two organizers for this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, BMW Group Classic just sent out a press release letting the world know that the event, previously planned for October of 2020, has been postponed until 28th-30th of May 2021.
The showrunners looked at everything going on right now, including travel restrictions still in place worldwide, and decided that current circumstances would not allow them to “do the world’s oldest Concorso d’Eleganza justice in 2020.”
The good news is that all of the highlights planned for 2020 will carry over to 2021, and people looking to attend the storied event will receive plenty of notice concerning the new deadline for having to confirm their registrations.

“Whilst we deeply regret having to share this news with you today, we are already in advanced planning for May 2021 with an unrivalled level of anticipation. All of us look forward to welcoming you once more to the shores of Lake Como – together with the dazzling selection of automobiles and motorcycles that had already been confirmed in their relevant classes,” said the German brand.
“In particular, we would like to extend our most sincere thanks for the loyalty of our participants and guests who had expressed their wish to join us for a unique autumn edition. We will be delighted to welcome you properly next May under more favourable conditions.”
Now, whether or not the May of 2021 date itself will be kept, that remains to be seen, considering how volatile of a business event planning has become with this ongoing pandemic circling the globe.
