PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – INFINITI and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance® – via their media partner, TEN: The Enthusiast Network – jointly announced the first-ever Pebble Beach Concert at the Concours presented by INFINITI to take place Friday, August 19. This new event combines great music, interesting cars and fine wine — with the proceeds benefiting Pebble Beach Company Foundation and Soberanes Fire Relief Efforts.
There is no fee to attend the Concert itself, but space is extremely limited due to venue capacity, and the opportunity to pre-register for the Concert alone is now closed. Event goers can still reserve one of the final 300 spots at the concert by pre-registering for the Concert and Charity Wine Tasting, with proceeds from the latter benefiting the Pebble Beach Company Foundation and Soberanes Fire Relief Efforts. The contribution of $100 for the charity wine tasting includes the purchase of a commemorative wine glass and complimentary access to the Concert. Registrations are not transferable, and photo identification (you must be 21 or older to access the Wine Tasting) will be required at the entrance to the venue. Without proper pre-registration there will be no access.
Headlining the concert will be OneRepublic, a global band with several #1 singles, from 6:30 p.m. PT to 7:45 p.m. PT on a custom-built stage adjacent to the INFINITI Pavilion on Concours Plaza. Prior to the concert, beginning at 4:30 p.m. PT and continuing to 7:45 p.m. PT on nearby Peter Hay Golf Course, automotive manufacturer displays will be open and several California wineries will be offering tastings. Some special Concours cars will also be introduced at an informal press conference at 5:30 p.m. sharp.
"INFINITI is excited to kick off the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance® weekend with a performance by OneRepublic," said Allyson Witherspoon, INFINITI director of Marketing Communications and Media. "We're honored to be part of such an inspirational weekend and to help support the local charities."
"We look forward to hosting an event where enthusiasts can enjoy great cars in a more relaxed setting," said Concours chairman Sandra Button. "And we couldn't pass up the opportunity to do more to raise funds for people in need in this community."
The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance® is widely considered the most competitive event in the collector car world, featuring the most beautiful and rare cars from all over the globe.
"We are extremely pleased to again partner with INFINITI and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance® to kick off this special musical celebration," said TEN CEO Scott Dickey. "This concert will not only bring together automotive enthusiasts, but allow the general public to get in on the fun and enjoy classic cars, entertainment, and giving back."
