About this event

  • 5 hours 30 minutes

The Concours d'Lemons returns to the Seaside City Hall lawn to ruin Monterey Auto Week. Hoopties of all description compete for the conveted "Worst of Show" trophy awarded by capricious and bribery prone celebrity judges. Spectators are free, that way you get what you pay for and perhaps a little less.

Frequently asked questions

Are Spectators FREE?

Yes. We do charge a small fee to register your hooptie, just to make sure you actually show up.

What kind of cars can register?

We want good examples of bad cars and bad examples of good cars. Got a Pinto, Pacer or Gremlin? Yer in. Have a hooptie Rolls Royce? Yer in! have a sense of humor about yourself and your car? Yer in! Have a totally mundane car but have a great theme/costume/decoration combo? Yer in too!

Can I bribe the judges?

Most certainly. We encourage it. Get creative with your bribes. BBQ lunch. Bake a cake. Write a song about your car. Do an interpretive dance. The more memorable the better.

What will I win?

Shame. And some hinky trophy we slapped together the night before from stuff we found at the craft store.
