Monterey Motorsports Festival

Rarely do you discover an event that offers something for everyone. Monterey Motorsports Festival puts the ultimate technology spin on Car Week, offering a wealth of activities for car enthusiasts and techies alike!

Fans, families and industry enthusiasts will all converge on the Monterey Fair & Events Center to be both engaged and entertained from 2-10 p.m., on Saturday, Aug. 17.

The event includes an impressive collection of exotics and sports cars, retro and classic cars, muscle cars, race cars, classic and modern motorcycles and aviation. MMF will showcase electric and solar technology, including electric motorcycles and bicycles.

Taking advantage of a venue that features 22 acres of native oak trees, historic buildings, and green lawns, our tech-focused event provides a wide variety of entertainment options.

On the Small Business Hall of Fame Lawns, we will unveil a lineup of quads, and utility and off-road vehicles, with the center arena presenting an impressive array of heavy steel and electric vehicles from the likes of Caterpillar, Bobcat, John Deere, Kubota, Toro and more. The back of the arena will feature off-road vehicles, classic 4x4s and pickups, an Army tank collection, SWAT trucks and new off-road technology.

It’s all there for you. We even offer interactive experiences for children! Or you can simply stroll the grounds, admiring the unique vendors, listening to live music and indulging in international gourmet cuisine. And to quench your thirst, multiple bars scattered throughout the event space will serve up a variety of creative cocktails and mocktails, wine, beer and other lively libations. After a full day of activity, MMF After Dark allows everyone to let loose and dance the night away to live entertainment.
