Guests can stroll the collection during a sunset cocktail hour while enjoying fine wines and handcrafted cocktails before transitioning to an open-air, long-table dinner. The evening’s menu will highlight seasonal ingredients and coastal flavors, creating a dining experience designed to complement the carefully edited display of automotive artistry surrounding it.
An All-Ages Experience
On Saturday afternoon, the full Cars of 30A collection takes over the meandering streets of Alys Beach for the weekend’s main event.
Designed for longtime automotive enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike, the Grand Tour offers an opportunity to experience exceptional automobiles in a relaxed, family-friendly setting, with Alys Beach itself becoming part of the show.
The Grand Tour will wind through the north side of the community and around Lake Marilyn, presenting rare and high-performance automobiles along the town’s cobblestone roads. Specialty automotive collections will be joined by live music, luxury retail, art and artisan activations, with food and beverages available for purchase throughout the event.

From Friday evening’s dinner beneath the stars to Saturday’s lively showcase winding through Alys Beach, Cars of 30A brings together two distinct forms of design: the architecture of an iconic coastal community and the craftsmanship of exceptional automobiles.
