Vancouver’s Luxury & Supercar Weekend is a multi-million-dollar event showcasing luxury automobiles and sports cars at the Olympic Oval in Richmond.

Luxury & Supercar Weekend in Vancouver
In years pre-COVID, Vancouver’s Luxury & Supercar Weekend took place on a Saturday and Sunday in early September (usually on the weekend after Labour Day). Since the event has started back up again, however, it now happens in July.
The event features exotic and collectible cars, fancy food, adult beverages, and some of the city’s most elite shoppers.
Cars on display include Aston Martins, the Acura NSX, Bentleys, BMWs, Bugattis, Cadillacs, Ferraris, Jaguars, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, McLarens, Porsches, Range Rovers and Rolls-Royces. Lesser well-known but equally exotic vehicles most years include the Karma, Koenigsegg and Pagani.
The event’s official website bills a supercar as “a car that combines speed, handling, unique design and represents the pinnacle of the automaker’s art.” So if you’re a true connoisseur of luxury supercars, this event is for you! Ticket are on sale from May 1st, 2023.
