What makes the Keeneland Concours Special? For the past 20 years, the Keeneland Concours d’Elegance has established itself as a premier Concours by maintaining its high standard of excellence, for the quality of automobiles that are shown, the unique weekend events it hosts, and by the dedication and professionalism the Concours Committee and its many volunteers exhibit year after year.

Why be a Keeneland Concours Volunteer?

  • Opportunity to help the Concours beneficiary: UK Healthcare Kentucky Children’s Hospital
  • Receive free admission to the Saturday Concours
  • Opportunity to enjoy unique automobiles from museums and personal collections
  • Unlimited photo opportunities
  • Opportunity to meet other automotive enthusiasts from around the country
  • Become a valued part of one of Lexington’s most prestigious events
  • Receive a commemorative T-shirt


What are the Volunteer Qualifications?

There are many ways in which you may volunteer. Many activities require that you be able to work in the sun or stand for a lengthy amount of time. Your knowledge of and interest in collector automobiles will come in handy, and is mandatory for some positions such as Show Car Placement and Paddock Parking. Every volunteer role requires the ability to be an ambassador for the event and a commitment to ensuring the best experience for our exhibitors and spectators.

All volunteers MUST attend one of two meetings on either Tuesday, July 11th or Wednesday, July 12th at 7:00pm held at the Keeneland Entertainment Center (Keene Barn) where volunteer t-shirts are distributed and assignment details will be given.

Whether you are a returning volunteer or this will be your first time, we hope you will consider becoming a Keeneland Concours d’Elegance Volunteer and help us make our 20th anniversary truly special.
