DOW’S LAKE

CONCORSO D'ELEGANZA

The Concorso will take place on Queen Elizabeth Driveway beside Dow’s Lake along the Rideau Canal Waterway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A section of Queen Elizabeth Driveway will be closed to motor vehicle traffic and the Concorso will be open for free public viewing. This area is just a few minutes walk from Preston Street / Corso Italia also known as Ottawa’s Little Italy.

The Concorso celebrates Italian heritage, culture and style as well as future vision. It will feature displays of vehicles from Ottawa area Vintage Italian Moto Museum and Italian electric/hybrid vehicles.

The Concorso itself will be organized as separate sub-events with classes by Italian vehicle manufacturer’s such as Ferrari and Alfa Romeo. Other classes may be available based on interest and number of entries received. All Italian manufacturers are welcome in the “Tutti Marca Italiani” (all Italian Marques) class where we expect entries from such marques as Maserati, Lamborghini, Lancia, Fiat, Abarth and more.
