  The Voice of the Concours

 Often referred to as “the Voice of the Concours,” Ed Lucas has spent 30+ years as Master of Ceremonies, Color Commentator and Announcer at National Collector Car Shows, Concours and important vehicle auctions around the country. 

 His encyclopedic collector car knowledge and announcing expertise will be entertaining and informative.

YMKG is Gasparilla, founded in 1904!

Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla (YMKG) and Gasparilla

Concours d’Elegance (GCDE) proudly announced a licensing agreement that will see GCDE exclusively

utilize the “Gasparilla” name in connection with their distinguished automotive event.

"While Tampa's landscape continues to evolve, the longstanding tradition of Gasparilla and its

deep-rooted connection to the community remains as strong as ever," said Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla

Captain Peter Lackman. "Both YMKG and Gasparilla Concours D'Elegance share in their commitment to

creating an unparalleled guest experience, and we are thrilled to partner as we each bring premium

community events and philanthropic impact to Tampa Bay."

GCDE Executive Directors Brando and Joanne Pistorius stated, “YMKG has embraced our unique event as

an asset to the Gasparilla season, and we agree that it is the right time for the Tampa Bay Area to host

such a prestigious automotive event as the truly sophisticated Gasparilla Concours d'Elegance. 

  The Steinbrenner High School entertains with the brightest young stars of their orchestra. 

GCDE is all about engaging the youth to enjoy and understand the great hobby of classic cars and motorcycles. What better way to involve them then to listen to what they have to say, enjoy what they enjoy, and support their efforts. 

You will be amazed at what a wonderful program they present.

There are more than 67 Krewes in the Tampa Bay Area.

All Krewes are invited to join us at the Gasparilla Concours d'Elegance.
