Phoenix Children’s 11th annual Concours in the Hills will take place Saturday, Feb. 15, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Fountain Park.
The “Greatest Car Show on Grass” will showcase breathtaking cars, motorcycles, helicopters and military vehicles, all supporting Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders as well as the Cardiothoracic Surgery Support Fund, according to a press release.
Concours in the Hills creator Peter Volny built a thriving advertising business around promoting the automobile industry. Migrating to Arizona, a “mecca” for car collectors, he turned his passion for speed and exotic cars into the premier auto show that draws car enthusiasts from across the Southwest.
As a childhood cancer survivor, Phoenix Children’s is a cause near to Volny’s heart.
“We are honored to be celebrating the 11th anniversary of Concours in the Hills in 2024,” Volny said. “The car enthusiast community is just as generous as it is passionate, creating a truly special event that attracts participants from across the country and around the world.”
While the money raised has always gone to Phoenix Children’s, Volny handed the reigns of the event over to Phoenix Children’s in 2022. The auxiliary group, PCH50, now leads Concours in the Hills, with member Dr. Kris Birkeland as chair.
The group, also known as “The Fifty,” has a mission to harness the energy, enthusiasm and experience of 50 driven community leaders as the next generation of supporters of Phoenix Children’s.
The show is organized into sections for domestics, imports, race cars, limited-edition exotics, off-road and motorcycles. Helicopters on display will range from civilian to military.
The show is supported by leading car clubs and dealers, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren, Corvette, Viper, Ford GT, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mustang, Jaguar, Cadillac, Lotus and others.
The value of vehicles is many hundreds of millions, with several individual cars worth over $10 million, the release said.
Concours in the Hills began in 2014 with 220 cars and 3,000 spectators. In 2024, there were approximately 50,000 spectators, 1,200 vehicles and more than 100 vendor and sponsor booths.
Event admission and parking are free to spectators.
