Monterey Car Week stands as one of the most iconic gatherings on the automotive calendar, welcoming collectors, manufacturers, and enthusiasts from all over the world. Set against the backdrop of California’s Central Coast, it’s a week where everything from coachbuilt pre-war rarities to the latest all-electric hypercars rolls into town. There’s a rhythm to it, with auctions, unveilings, rally arrivals, and a constant stream of cars weaving through scenic roads like 17-Mile Drive. But with so many overlapping events, it’s easy to feel like you’re always one step behind something incredible. From the elegance of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance to the curated mix at The Quail, it’s an overwhelming but unforgettable experience for anyone who’s even remotely into cars.
For all its flash and formality, Car Week still manages to feel like a celebration of everything that makes the automotive world so capivating. One minute, you’re in the presence of a post-war Ferrari with a chassis legacy longer than your arm, and the next, you’re watching a manufacturer reveal a next-gen supercar surrounded by executives, designers, and future owners. It’s a space where the industry’s past and future collide in real time, and where conversations at a coffee stand can lead to once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. The volume of activity might seem chaotic, but there’s a rhythm to it once you settle in. Whether you’re chasing early morning show setups or tracking big-ticket sales at the auctions, there’s something genuinely addictive about the pace.
To make the most of it, having a plan helps, especially when so many events are stacked back-to-back. That’s where the duPont REGISTRY Guide to Monterey Car Week 2025 comes in. Think of it less as a checklist and more like a roadmap through the madness, with key events, notable locations, and useful tips to help you stay ahead of the curve. Whether you’re there to admire vintage Bugattis or just soak in the atmosphere, Car Week rewards those who know where to look and when to show up.
*Please Note: Many of the events during Monterey Car Week 2025 require pre-purchased tickets
