Car Week 2021: Calendar of Events
After an unfortunate year off, Monterey Car Week is back. What many consider the greatest gathering of classic, exotic, vintage, priceless, and most significant cars in North America is right around the corner and to help you decided how to fit in all of the events that make up car week we bring you this schedule of events below, with links to the websites where you can get more information and purchase tickets if required.
As we always point out, Car Week can be as expensive as all get out, but if you’re willing to drive a bit, it can be experienced on a budget. If you’re light on your feet and pack a lunch, your mere presence on the Monterey Peninsula guarantees that you’ll have your mind blown…and likely more than a few times. If you’re not willing to plunk down the coin for your first Car Week experience, patrolling the streets of Monterey and Carmel will likely induce planning for 2022. On that note, planning for Car Week, especially if you require accommodations, should be initiated at least 6 months in advance…a year in advance if you’re smart.
