EVENT
From August 22–24, the third annual Marques d’Elegance will take place in Burlington, Greater Toronto. This celebration of fine Italian automobiles and luxe supercars will include a programme of VIP nights and a street festival, culminating with the Marques d’Elegance on August 24, where guests can feast their eyes on a showcase of some of the world’s most beautiful supercars while enjoying our exciting fashion show, beautiful music, and our live and silent auctions. On the Monday leading up to the weekend event, Marques d’Elegance is also hosting its first Annual Sunset Pursuit track day at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, with a day of races against some of the best drivers in Ontario, ending with a gourmet dinner in the VIP Paddock Club.
AMIBENCE
The Marques d’Elegance is an elegant affair, beginning with an exclusive Breakfast at Tiffany’s event overlooking the shimmering Lake Ontario from the terrace of the historic Paletta Mansion. Drivers and their guests can spend an all-inclusive afternoon as a VIP Paddock member in the mansion, where champagne and vintage wines await.
RUB SHOULDERS WITH
Guests can mingle with a crowd of fellow car aficionados including some of most renowned national athletes, visiting actors, and automotive stars. There will be plenty of opportunity to mingle over a fabulous selection of fine wine and spirits, artisan food and crafted cigars, while enjoying art exhibits, live music, silent and live auctions, and our signature fashion show.
AFTER DARK
This year’s second annual Evening of Luxury presented by Mercedes-Benz Burlington will be held at the brand-new Burlington Pier, where you will be able to walk along the romantically lit lake lined with a beautiful display of AMG Performance Vehicles. Another highlight is the Exotic Supercar Evening held at Jetport, a private hanger. This will involve an incredible display of new and vintage supercars, and guests can dance the night away to a live, 17-piece swing band.
STAY
Top off the elegant affair with a pampered stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto. Marques d’Elegance provides guests with discounts on some of the most luxurious rooms. The moment you step into their hotel, the staff will do all the work, so make sure you relax.
EAT
Just in the lobby of The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto lives Toca, a delicious tribute to Toronto. From their signature Banana Bread French Toast to their hearty half rack of lamb, Toca satisfies all cravings. If you are looking for authentic Italian, I suggest Sotto Sotto and Café Nervosa.
MUST DO
Take time to visit some of Burlington’s most iconic museums and art galleries. End your evenings with Broadway shows held at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre. If your stay takes you to Toronto, on any given night you could find yourself at an exciting Toronto Blue Jay’s game, a live musical performance or one of the city’s most popular nightclubs.
