The Palm Beach Cavallino Classic is a concours d’elegance devoted to Ferrari, and in February 2026 it parked more than 300 of them across the golf course at The Boca Raton, from a 1948 166 MM Berlinetta to a 250 GTO and a row of F40s.
The 36th edition returns to the same resort February 19 to 21, 2027, the year Ferrari turns 80.
A police-escorted Ferrari drive on South Florida roads opens it Friday, the judged concours fills The Boca Raton on Saturday, and Sunday moves north to The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach for a smaller show open to classic and sports cars of any brand. RM Sotheby’s holds its second Cavallino auction on Saturday night.
Cavallino Inc. began as a Ferrari magazine, first printed in 1978, and has run the concours in Palm Beach since 1992. Canossa, an Italian event company based near Reggio Emilia, acquired it in 2020 and has since added Cavallino editions in Modena, Monaco and Abu Dhabi.

Ferrari’s 80th Anniversary Sets the 2027 Field
Cavallino plans a show field with Ferraris from every decade, 1947 to the present, to mark the anniversary. It had not named feature classes or specific cars for 2027 by October 20.
Owners propose a car through cavallino.com, and a selection committee chooses the field. Any Ferrari more than 10 years old, from the first 166 MM to the F12tdf, can be judged, and newer cars can be shown on display.
Judging follows International Advisory Council for the Preservation of the Ferrari Automobile guidelines: a car that scores 97 points earns a Platinum Award, and a Best of Show winner can go on to the Peninsula Classics Best of the Best.
At The Mar-a-Lago Club on Sunday, any make more than 50 years old can be judged, and younger cars are shown without scoring.
Staying at The Boca Raton
The Boca Raton opened in 1926 and marked its centennial this year. It is now five hotels on 200 waterfront acres: the Cloister, Yacht Club, Beach Club, Tower and Bungalows. Beach Club, the newest, opened in January 2025.
Only members of The Boca Raton Club and resort guests can use the property. It has its own beach, a marina, an 18-hole golf course and seven pools.
The Enjoy the Cavallino Weekend tickets include three nights in one of those rooms, February 18 to 21. Anyone booking separately can check rates for the Cloister at The Boca Raton on Klook, and VIP ticket holders are offered preferred rates at the resort.
Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International are the nearest airports, and both are within 30 miles of the resort. The Mar-a-Lago Club for Sunday’s show sits on the island of Palm Beach, north of Boca Raton.
Cavallino Also Runs Shows in Modena, Monaco and Abu Dhabi
Cavallino Classic Modena is back May 30 to June 1, 2027, as a three-day concours for freshly restored Ferraris. The Monaco edition first ran April 23 to 26, 2026, alongside the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, with laps of the street circuit.
Cavallino Classic Middle East is held at Casa Ferrari on Yas Marina Island in Abu Dhabi during the Formula 1 season finale weekend, and it sells no admission tickets: owners take part through a local Ferrari dealer.
