The Elegance at Hershey to be Held June 9-11
May 4, 2017 by Elegance at Hershey
A Weekend of Cars & Causes at The Hotel Hershey
HERSHEY, PA (May 2017) - The Elegance at Hershey is a celebration of a bygone era when the automobile stirred our imaginations and quickened our hearts. Today, people both young and old marvel at the extravagances of the automobiles of the past. From race cars to street cars that were not only about pure performance but also incorporated artistic design, a symphony of sound and sensory overload worthy of the finest wines. Cars were not just transportation; they were a statement. The Elegance at Hershey brings the finest of race cars and show quality classic cars of the pre-World War II and immediate post-World War II period together for a weekend celebrating the automobile.
The Elegance at Hershey is so much more than a celebration, it is also about our causes. Raising funds for charity is the raison d'etre for this event. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the AACA Library & Research Center and the AACA Museum are the beneficiaries.
The Elegance at Hershey is a three-day weekend event at the historic and magnificent Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA. The annual event features The Grand Ascent (a two-day vintage hill climb) on Friday and Saturday, and the Concours d'Elegance on Sunday. We are excited to announce a new event for this year's Elegance, Cars & Coffee on Saturday morning.
'By combining the very finest in cars with very worthwhile causes, we have established The Elegance as a major national philanthropic event,' noted Michael Rich, Chairman of The Elegance at Hershey Board. In 2016, The Elegance at Hershey was named one of 10 Best Car Shows in USA Today's Reader's Choice Contest. In just 6 short years, The Elegance has become known as one of the hottest events to attend and is very proud to have donated more than $850,000 to its three charities.
