Kent Island Yacht Club will host two prestigious events this year – the 8th annual Chesapeake Bay Motoring Festival on June 8-9, and the 17th annual St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance on Chesapeake Bay on September 27-29. Both events are presented by St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance on Chesapeake Bay.
Venue:
Kent Island Yacht Club
The event features a special invitational class of racing Corvettes sponsored by Cunningham Automotive to celebrate Corvette’s 71st anniversary, a do-over from last year’s event which was hindered by Tropical Storm Ophelia.
The Grand Marque of the show is the sleek and elegant Delahaye, with a spotlight on Chesapeake Bay yachting. Entrant registration is free, with an application process for Concours, both available online.
St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance Chair Luke L. Phipps expressed excitement about the Kent Island Yacht Club’s ideal location, making both events grand celebrations of motoring excellence on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Phipps highlighted the inclusion of locally sourced cuisine, craft libations, vendor tents, live music, and awards ceremonies throughout the weekend events.
Both events are open to the public, and attendees are encouraged to arrive by boat, with dockage available at the Kent Island Yacht Club and Hyatt Place Marina. Limited slips are available, and advanced reservations can be made by contacting [email protected].
