15 Sep Telluride Autumn Classic (formerly Cars & Colors), 9/23 – 9/26!
The event known as Cars & Colors (since 2015), a world-class automotive, motorcycle and aviation event set amidst the San Juan Mountains in Telluride, CO, is now rebranded as “Telluride Autumn Classic,” and bigger and better than ever. Tickets here.
The Story (from Autumn Classic):
The U.S. is the world’s largest market for classic cars and some vintage models have become cultural icons of America’s post-war golden-era. With the classic car market in the U.S. expected to grow to 15.5 billion U.S. dollars by 2023, according to Statista Research Department, Telluride’s world-class car festival is set to return September 23-26, 2021.
The picturesque mountain town of Telluride, Colorado, is known for more than its award-winning ski slopes, cultural economy and high-end culinary destinations that have been featured on Amazon Prime’s Grand Tour and Bravo’s Top Chef. Now there is also the Telluride Autumn Classic, an evolution of the original Telluride Festival of Cars and Colors, expanding passions for excellence in craftsmanship and engineering. The four-day festival roars back to town among the spectacular display of the San Juan Mountains’ autumnal foliage.
In the Telluride Historic District, Telluride Regional Airport, and the Town of Mountain Village, enthusiasts of all makes and models will convene for the nation’s premier celebration of automobiles, motorcycles, aircraft, and more. From high-end restorations, vintage and exotic vehicles, to live music and a vibrant art scene, Autumn Classic features enough family-friendly attractions to get everyone’s motor running.
