The New York City Concours is all set to create a splash this year during its premiere at the Palm Beach International Boat Show on Friday night.
Revealing the most sought-after pass in the city this year – an exclusive VIP occasion that will showcase everything from a premium open bar serving exquisite cuisine to early access to the boat exhibition.
“Our aim is to organize this gathering annually commencing next year,” Maria Jannace, the CEO and founder of the Cars & Culture Concours Series, which encompasses The New York City Concours and Fort Lauderdale Concours, mentioned during a recent telephone conversation. “This is our initial trial, and so far, there has been a significant buzz.”
The Windward VIP Experience presents a distinctive opportunity to bring together boating devotees with vehicle enthusiasts. The event is scheduled for Friday night from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m.
“The Palm Beach event on Friday is going to be an elite preview occasion sponsored by Lotus,” she expressed. “Lotus will be showcasing their latest sports car Emira, alongside a dozen other spectacles. This year’s event will essentially be a three-hour soirée as a sneak peek for what lies ahead next year. Guests can enjoy music by the Valerie Tyson Band and an art display curated by Vincent Peters.”
After founding her advertising and sports management enterprises, Maxim Creative Group and Maxim Sports Management, Inc. in Fort Lauderdale during the late 80s, Jannace amassed reputed clients such as the Florida Marlins, Miami Dolphins, and Florida Panthers. In New York City now, her fervor remains in diversifying the classic and vintage car interest to a wider audience.
“Palm Beach hosts numerous prestigious events, but my approach is distinct,” Jannace explained. “We strive to make this occasion more appealing to a youthful, diverse audience because the fate of vintage cars is tied to attracting younger individuals. Our endeavors in New York exhibit the public’s interest in such events. I aim to renew your enthusiasm for joining one of these gatherings.”
The Windward VIP Experience also entails a one-day general pass to the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary Art Fair held concurrently with the Palm Beach International Boat Show.
The Windward VIP Club is located at the Lakeside Pavilion on Flagler Drive. For further details or ticket purchases, kindly click here.
