Final Preparations Are Underway for The Paddock Monterey

As we move into the final phase of planning, our show field is quickly filling with an exciting range of vehicles. We already have a strong and diverse multi-marque lineup registered, including supercars, European classics, American muscle, customs, and collector-grade favorites. The Paddock Monterey was created to be a welcoming and inclusive event, and the early response reflects our vision perfectly.

In addition to our growing base of exhibitors, we will be revealing several exciting feature cars in the weeks ahead. Those following our social media channels have already seen a few sneak peeks of what is to come. More reveals are on the way, each with a story worth sharing, and you will want to experience these vehicles first-hand.

Whether you are planning to display or attend, now is the time to secure your spot for Friday, August 15, at Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course.

Things are Getting RAD!

One of the liveliest and unique elements of The Paddock Monterey will be RADwood, featuring a curated group of fifty standout vehicles from the 1980s and 1990s. This specialty display captures the style and energy of a generation, complete with a live DJ spinning hits from both decades throughout the day. Attendees often take it a step further by arriving in full period-correct fashion, creating an atmosphere that feels part car show, part time capsule.

Access to the RADwood display is included with your General Admission or VIP ticket. No additional passes are required. Tickets are available now at the lowest prices of the season, but increases are coming soon. Visit www.thepaddockmonterey.com and purchase yours today.

A Scenic Setting With Room to Breathe

The Paddock Monterey is held at the beautiful Bayonet Black Horse Golf Course, where rolling fairways meet views of the Monterey Bay. It is a location that provides ample space for cars, clubs, and crowds to spread out and enjoy the setting. From early morning coastal fog to clear afternoon skies, this event was made for great photography and lots of conversation

The venue also accommodates trailers and transporters, making loading and unloading a smooth and stress-free process for those entering one or more vehicles to display on the show field..

Join Us Again the Next Day for Concorso Italiano

The celebration continues the very next day with our companion event, Concorso Italiano, held on Saturday, August 16. This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most beloved traditions of Monterey Car Week. Concorso’s success has long been built on the enthusiasm and loyalty of Italian marque clubs and their members.

Learn more about Concorso Italiano at www.concorso.com and consider making it a full weekend of automotive celebration.

You are welcome here, and we will work with you to create a designated area for your group. While all car owners with a vehicle on the field have access to the Grand Hospitality tent, we can also arrange a cabana with food and beverages for a more personalized club experience.
