The Des Moines Concours is set to captivate automotive enthusiasts on September 8, transforming the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park, in Des Moines, Iowa, into a stunning display of vintage and classic vehicles, according to a news release.

The event, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., offers free admission and promises a journey through automotive history with twelve distinct classes of vehicles, including a new station wagon class.

“This event showcases a wide range of vehicles, from beloved everyday classics like station wagons to the rarest gems of the past,” said Dave Robbins, co-chair of the Des Moines Concours. “We can’t wait to share this incredible experience with you on Sunday, September 8.”

The weekend festivities also include a charity gala on September 6 and a driving tour on September 7. Proceeds from the event will benefit Children’s Cancer Connection, supporting Iowa families impacted by childhood cancer.
