The Monterey County Fairgrounds is a multi-use venue with a long history of hosting agricultural events, concerts, and community gatherings. Established in 1936, the grounds have undergone expansions and improvements over the decades but retain a connection to its agricultural roots. It’s frequently used for large-scale public events due to its considerable space – encompassing indoor arenas, outdoor stages, exhibition halls, and ample parking – and central location within Monterey County. The fairgrounds have hosted numerous nationally touring musical acts throughout its history, becoming a regular stop on the California concert circuit. The site's proximity to Highway 1 makes it accessible to visitors from across the region.
