It’s a time when car culture is celebrated with beautiful showcases, exciting auctions, and thrilling races. However, I’ve heard some buzz lately about potential cancellations or changes to the event this year.

  • Event Status: Is it confirmed that Monterey Car Week is cancelled, or is this just speculation?

Community Reactions

Many of us have been planning our trips or considering options to showcase our cars. If there’s cancellation, how do you think it will affect the automotive community?

Looking for Updates

I’m really hoping to hear updates from anyone who has more information on this topic. When will officials make a formal announcement? And how can we stay in the loop about any changes or adjustments?

Let’s share any news we find here and keep each other informed. This event is significant, and it would be a shame for it to be cancelled, especially after the last couple of years we’ve had. Looking forward to your thoughts and updates!

Is Monterey Car Week really on the chopping block? This would hit local businesses hard, especially hotels and restaurants that thrive on this event every year!

Absolutely, Julia. The economic ramifications could be devastating. Local shops and eateries depend heavily on the foot traffic from car enthusiasts and tourists. Losing that influx is serious!

With each year’s event, I’ve seen my business boost by at least 30%. If Car Week is cancelled, some may have to close their doors permanently. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved.

What about the hotels? They book up months in advance for this week. A cancellation means massive losses for them, not to mention the layoffs that could follow.

You’re right, Maria. It’s not just about the immediate losses but also the long-term impact on the local economy. People might rethink coming if this event isn’t stable.

It’s frustrating to think about. This event brings such excitement! Plus, the local arts and crafts vendors also suffer—many rely on this event to showcase their work.

Exactly, Nicole! The buzz and community vibe created during Car Week are irreplaceable. It’s not just about money; it’s about community!

I’ve seen the difference Car Week makes on our sales firsthand. It’s disheartening to think how much people would miss out on the stunning classic cars on display!

Very true! The whole community could feel the impact of this cancellation. It would be a domino effect of issues for everyone.

Honestly, some people don’t realize how vital events like Car Week are. If it’s truly canceled, what does that mean for future events?

Great point, Xgarza. It might cause a ripple effect of hesitance to organize such large-scale events in the future.

This situation reminds me of when major events were cancelled during the pandemic; businesses struggled for months. It would be heartbreaking to see that happen again.

I wonder if we’re approaching this all wrong. Maybe this could be a good opportunity to innovate how we host events in the future?

Has anyone confirmed if Monterey Car Week is actually cancelled this year? It would be a huge blow to the car community if it is.

I heard rumors flying around, but nothing solid yet. It would definitely impact both collectors and enthusiasts who look forward to the event every year.

If it’s cancelled, I wonder how the auction houses will adapt. They play a significant role in the week’s events and many collectors rely on that for networking.

True! They could host online auctions, but it won’t be quite the same experience for people who love the in-person connection.

Regardless, we need to find other ways to connect as a community. Perhaps virtual meetups or car shows could fill the void.
