Following a successful inaugural event in 2023, the Monterey Motorsports Festival returns to the peninsula this year with another round of engaging, interactive, and cutting-edge exhibitions and displays. Mecum Auctions, host of The World’s Largest Collector Car Auction®, will once again sponsor the event, specifically the classic cars area. The 2024 Motorsports Festival will be held on August 17 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Monterey County Fair & Event Center. Open to individuals of all ages with a single admission ticket, a portion of the proceeds will benefit select charitable organizations.
“Sponsoring the Monterey Motorsports Festival again this year was an easy decision, as the event proved its industry relevance and ability to engage, impress, and educate attendees at its launch in 2023,” said Dave Magers, CEO of Mecum Auctions. “The festival offers a fascinating and informative arrangement of activities and exhibits that complement Mecum Monterey and other Car Week events. We are excited to be a part of the Motorsports Festival’s assured continued growth.”
Exciting Features and Exhibitions
This year’s festival spans 22 acres divided into 15 areas of focus, showcasing a remarkable collection of classic and modern cars, rare and exotic models from around the world, and special surprises from the aviation sector. Attendees can enjoy family fun zones, live entertainment including performances by The Globe of Death Squad, various live music acts, surprise drive-ins, and a kids’ area with bounce houses and interactive games. Food and drink options will also be available for purchase, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all automotive enthusiasts.

Mecum Auctions, with over 15 years of experience hosting its live-auction event during Monterey Car Week, will bring 600 vehicles and 100 motorcycles to the auction block at the Monterey Hyatt Regency Hotel & Spa on Del Monte Golf Course from August 15-17.
