New date for Monterey Week 2018

New date for Monterey Week 2018 26th May 2017

To borrow an expression from another well-known event, next year’s 'magical step back in time' on the Monterey Peninsula will take place a week later than usual. Due to a golf tournament date clash, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will be held on 26 August 2018, seven days after its familiar third-Sunday-in-August slot.

The organisers of the world-famous concours describe the move as “one time”, so expect the calendar to revert to normal in 2019.


As the linchpin of Monterey Week, the main concours date change will mean all other events moving in step. The organisers of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, for example, have announced that 2018’s races at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will take place from 23 to 26 August. The Monterey Pre-Reunion will be held the same weekend as the golf championship, which is 18 to 19 August 2018.
