Attendees can look forward to a variety of experiences beyond the auction itself.

 

These include adrenaline-pumping thrill rides in the latest vehicles from top automakers, a vast Exhibitor Marketplace offering a range of products and services, and numerous indoor and outdoor dining options.

 

For those seeking an elevated experience, the Luxury Lounge presented by AIRSHARE offers premier, elevated sightlines of the entire auction arena, curated culinary selections, and a hosted bar.

As Scottsdale continues to evolve, attendees can also explore new additions to the local scene.

 

For instance, Drake’s Hollywood, known for its sultry ambiance and timeless American fare, is opening its largest location in Old Town Scottsdale in early 2026.

 

This 8,000-square-foot restaurant blends the golden-era glamour of 1930s-40s New York and Los Angeles with modern, high-energy dining.

 

Additionally, the world’s largest indoor pickleball facility, PURE Pickleball & Padel, is set to open in Scottsdale in 2026.

 

This nearly 190,000-square-foot complex aims to make Scottsdale the pickleball capital of the U.S., offering professional matches, youth clinics, and open play.

 

With its rich history and continuous evolution, the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction remains a must-attend event for automotive enthusiasts and collectors alike.
