Monterey County Fairgrounds

Home of the Monterey Jazz Festival every year. Get your tickets and watch some awesome people perform . Also attended First City Festival for the first time this year. We enjoyed it.

We stayed in RV park section which is right next to the golf coarse. One of solar panels got broken by a golf ball and they refused any sort of compensation. Do NOT stay here!

We camped here for a week in the RV park . The hookups are a little screwy, but it's a good deal

Really cool to see all the livestock. Go early and leave by 5pm before the crowds get ridiculous.

Buy a membership for the Heritage Foundation, and you'll receive on-site VIP parking , and many other benefits year-round.

Park at MPC and take the free shuttle - save a bundle and your sanity.

Watch out for douche bags at the beer fest.
