MCFEC boasts two outdoor performance stages, sprawling lawns, concessions kitchens, barns, seven rentable halls, a full service RV Park and an on-site Off Track Betting facility called Monterey Bay Race Place. Built in 1936, the Monterey County Fair & Event Center has been home to many amazing events including the annual Monterey County Fair, the world renowned Monterey Jazz Festival and the 1967 Monterey International Pop Music Festival to name a few.
