On Saturday, 18 July 2026, the English park of Château Gbeľany once again became a meeting place for enthusiasts of historic automobiles, timeless elegance and a wonderful summer atmosphere. The 9th edition of Elegance Tour welcomed around 60 exceptional historic vehicles, creating the perfect setting for one of the largest classic car gatherings in northern Slovakia.

Throughout the afternoon, visitors had the opportunity to admire a remarkable collection of historic automobiles, meet their owners and discover the unique stories behind each vehicle during guided presentations. The musical atmosphere was provided by Billyan, whose performances accompanied the programme throughout the day.

The event also featured inspiring presentations. Metod Macek introduced the work of the Wildlife Rescue Station in Zázrivá, while visitors learned more about the legendary London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, in which Slovakia was represented for the very first time this year.

As always, Elegance Tour was about much more than historic cars. Visitors could discover the work of JANKIV Plissé, menswear designer Justin Paukin, leather craftsman Juraj Matejík, and Motorr Žilina, which offered test drives of the latest Mercedes-Benz models.

The popular food zone featured a wide selection of local specialties, desserts, coffee, wines and refreshing drinks. Families with children enjoyed horse riding, face painting, hair braiding, a bouncy castle and many other activities prepared for the youngest visitors.

The highlight of the afternoon was the Men's Elegance Fashion Show, followed by the ceremonial presentation of awards for the participating historic vehicles in several competition categories.

We would like to thank all vehicle owners, partners, performers, volunteers and visitors who helped create the unique atmosphere of Elegance Tour 2026. We are already looking forward to welcoming you to the 10th anniversary edition, where automotive history, elegance and the exceptional surroundings of Château Gbeľany will come together once again.
