Monterey Car Week 2022

Update -

I've been alerted that there is another concours, The Concours at Pasadera, on August 11th & 12th. Check it out at https://pasaderaconcours.com/

2022 seems like a strange year for Monterey Car Week. I expected last year to be spotty but for the most part every event was back. This year one of my favorite events has been cancelled; hopefully it is a one time thing.

A local Monterey web site, What's Up Monterey (https://whatsupmonterey.com/article/activities/monterey-car-week-overview) puts together a excellent calendar/list of events. So instead of reinventing the wheel here's what they put together for 2022 Car Week:

I'll be going to selected events time. I'm really bummed that Concours on the Avenue has been cancelled this year. It really is one of the highlights of Car Week for me.

There is plenty to do and see during Car Week. There are free events and very pricey events. There are great restaurants, and neat little 'mom and pop' spots. If you're on a budget take a picnic basket and find one of the great, tucked away spots to dine al fresco. 

Expect traffic congestion so be patient. If you can, spend some money at local places. And be respectful. Every big event on the peninsula disrupts the locals while at the same time bringing money into the area. 

Monterey is one of my favorite places on this planet, Car Week is a bonus. Maybe I'll see you there.
