Promising to supercharge Monterey’s annual Car Week by offering automotive and tech enthusiasts immersive experiences within an experiential festival atmosphere, the inaugural Monterey Motorsports Festival revs its engines on Saturday, Aug. 19.

Held from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. at the expansive Monterey Fairgrounds and Events Center in the heart of the city, 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, the technology-focused event provides a wide variety of entertainment options.

On the Small Business Hall of Fame Lawns, MMF 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.

The Main Stage at the Fairgrounds will be home to a variety of music and entertainment, with a special kids entertainment area located on the nearby lawn.

Guests also can indulge in gourmet cuisine, step up to the Pit Stop Bar, and dance the night away to live music.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to local charitable organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club of Monterey, and The Heritage Foundation.
