Monterey Car Week 2025 is scheduled for August 7-17, 2025. The main events are concentrated around the weekend of August 15-17. The anchor event, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, will take place on Sunday, August 17th, on the 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach Golf Links.
This 10-day automotive festival transforms California's Monterey Peninsula into a global hub for car enthusiasts. The schedule is packed with prestigious events, each offering a unique experience. Key events historically follow a consistent pattern relative to the Concours Sunday. Here is a tentative schedule based on previous years:
| Event | Expected 2025 Date | Key Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance | Sunday, August 17 | Premier classic car judging event |
| Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance | Thursday, August 14 | Concours entrants' road tour |
| The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering | Friday, August 15 | Luxury lifestyle and high-end cars |
| Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion | Aug 14-17 (Thurs-Sun) | Historic car racing at WeatherTech Raceway |
| Monterey Car Week Auctions | Aug 14-16 (Wed-Sat) | Major auctions by RM Sotheby's, Gooding & Co. |
Planning is crucial. Hotel and rental car accommodations in the area book up months, sometimes a year, in advance. Tickets for individual events like The Quail also sell out quickly. If you're considering attending, start researching and booking now to secure the best options and avoid premium prices. The official Monterey Car Week website is the best source for confirmed schedules as the event approaches. Whether you're into classic vintage cars, hypercars, or racing, there's an event tailored for you during this spectacular week.

Mark your calendar for mid-August 2025. The big days are August 15-17. The main attraction, the Pebble Beach Concours, is always the last Sunday, which will be the 17th. The whole week leading up to it is filled with incredible shows and races. If you want to go, book your hotel ASAP—everything in Monterey gets expensive and sells out fast. It's an unforgettable experience for any car lover.

From what I've seen, the dates are pretty consistent year to year. It's August 7th through the 17th for the full week of festivities. The real action is that final weekend. The Quail is on the 15th, the racing at Laguna Seca goes all weekend, and then the Concours wraps it up on the 17th. My advice? Prioritize one or two events you really want to see. You can't do it all, and the traffic is something else. Focus on your passion, whether it's the auctions or the vintage racing.
