Monterey Car Week is a week in August during which a number of car-related events are held in and around Monterey, California. It is globally recognized as one of the premier gatherings for auto enthusiasts, with auctions, rallies, races, competitions, and car shows all culminating in The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on Sunday.
The tradition first began in 1950 as an outgrowth of the Pebble Beach Road Race. In the decades since, increasing official and unofficial car events sprang up, drawing an estimated 100,000 attendees in 2024, and hundreds of millions in auction sales.
