The Curated Calendar for the Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individual
February 2026 presents a convergence of liquidity, legacy, and lifestyle across the United States. As the global elite migrate from the alpine retreats of January to the sun-drenched coasts and desert oases of America, the luxury asset market enters one of its most dynamic periods. For the discerning collector and investor, this month is not merely a social circuit—it is a strategic window for acquisition and portfolio diversification.
From the blue-chip art corridors of Santa Monica to the automotive concours of Palm Beach, Borro has curated the definitive guide to the events shaping the luxury landscape this month. Whether you are expanding your stable of vintage Ferraris or acquiring contemporary masters, understanding the pulse of these markets is essential.
The East Coast: Sun, Sea, and Sales
Florida remains the undisputed capital of winter luxury. The season reaches its zenith in February, anchored by three major pillars: yachting, jewelry, and equestrian sport.
In Miami, the Miami International Boat Show 2026 (Feb 11-15) transforms Biscayne Bay into the world’s largest stage for marine innovation. For those leveraging superyachts as capital assets, this event offers a critical look at market valuation trends.
Further north, the Palm Beach Show 2026 (Feb 12-17) brings an unparalleled selection of high jewelry and antiques to the Convention Center. It is a prime venue for collectors seeking tangible assets with proven historical appreciation.
Simultaneously, the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic 2026 (Feb 12-15) gathers the world’s most significant Ferraris at The Breakers. As classic cars continue to outperform traditional indices, this event is mandatory for the automotive investor.
In Wellington, the Winter Equestrian Festival 2026 enters its high-stakes 5-star competition weeks. The trade of elite show jumpers here represents a specialized but highly liquid asset class.
The West Coast: Culture and Design
California answers with a focus on modernism and contemporary art. The month culminates with Frieze Los Angeles 2026 (Feb 26-Mar 1), the premier destination for institutional-grade contemporary art on the West Coast.
In the desert, Modernism Week Palm Springs 2026 (Feb 12-22) celebrates mid-century architecture and design, a sector seeing renewed interest from real estate investors and furniture collectors alike.
Arizona continues to hold court for the equine world with the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show 2026 (Feb 12-22), an event where breeding rights and lineage command valuations rivaling fine art.
National Highlights
Beyond the coasts, the luxury ecosystem thrives. New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 (Feb 11-16) sets the tone for the global luxury retail market, while the Super Bowl LX Hospitality experience in Santa Clara offers a unique intersection of high-net-worth networking and corporate entertainment assets.
Finally, the discreet but powerful Naples National Art Show 2026 provides a focused environment for fine art acquisition in one of the country’s wealthiest enclaves.
