49th Baden-Baden Vintage Car Meeting 2026
International vintage car owners are bringing their prized "garage gold" to the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site „Great Spa Towns of Europe“ — Baden-Baden’s spa gardens — this weekend
July 10–12 – International Vintage Car Meeting 2026 in the spa town of Baden-Baden (ENGLISH, FRANÇAIS, DEUTSCH, NEDERLANDS)
Baden-Baden. A spectacular event is just around the corner. Last weekend, the "Baden-Baden Summer Nights" drew large crowds with musical tribute events—we were particularly delighted by a live Elton John tribute concert performed by "Elton & the Joels" in the spa gardens. Now, the Baden-Baden Vintage Car Meeting (info: oldtimer-meeting.de) arrives, featuring 350 vintage vehicles. Classic cars spanning 125 years of history will be on display, transforming the beautiful spa town into a living open-air museum of automotive history. The 49th Baden-Baden Vintage Car Meeting takes place in the park grounds in front of the Kurhaus and the Trinkhalle, as well as along Kaiserallee. ... For vintage car owners: all entry slots have already been filled.

Featured Marque for 2026 at the International Vintage Car Meeting Baden-Baden: BMW
By tradition, this vintage car gathering takes the form of a *Concours d’Elegance*. A different automotive brand takes center stage each year.
This year’s featured marque is BMW—a real highlight, marking three special anniversaries:
- 90 years of the BMW 327/328, the BMW of the "old" *Neue Klasse* (New Class)
- and 30 years of the BMW Z3.
