Where Do You Go When Car Week Shuts Down? Monterey Motorsports Festival Under the Stars!

When the sun sets on Saturday, MMF After Dark takes over. As Car Week winds down and the exclusive parties close their doors, we open ours—to everyone. This is Monterey’s only official nighttime automotive celebration, where car culture meets cocktails, music, and community.

Explore 22 acres of custom cars, rare builds, overland setups, lowriders, and street legends—alongside immersive displays, lifestyle vendors, off-road tech, and a high-energy festival vibe. Whether you're here to see the machines or be part of the scene, MMF After Dark is where it all comes together.

Vino & Vibes
Elevate your evening with a special add-on experience featuring tastings from regional wineries, live music, and a laid-back lounge atmosphere.

Car Clubs Welcome
Car clubs with 5 or more vehicles are invited to apply to showcase as part of MMF’s curated display experience. This is your chance to roll in with your crew and represent your style in front of thousands during Car Week. Space is limited and entries will be reviewed based on quality and uniqueness.

Car Registration Now Open

Space is limited and curated—approved participants will receive two general admission tickets and the opportunity to drive through the gates at 5PM.
