Concours for a Cause is a thoughtfully curated celebration of classic automobiles, International cultures, and charitable giving where automotive heritage meets community.

#2  ASTONS ON THE AVENUE

Wednesday, August 12  |  11am-4pm
Ocean Avenue between Monte Verde and Lincoln Streets

Ocean Avenue in Carmel-by-the-Sea comes alive during Carmel Car Week with a spectacular display of Aston Martins with expanded awards planned this year. Astons on the Avenue proudly supports the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), a cause deeply personal to artist Simon Bull and his wife Joanna, who is battling the disease. Together, they are committed to sponsoring vital research for a cure. By attending, donating, or purchasing Simon Bull's exclusive car paintings, you contribute to a brighter future for those affected by multiple myeloma. Last year, the event has helped raise over $43,000!

Experience the passion of Italian automotive excellence as spectacular Ferraris transform five blocks in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea into an open-air concours festival. Hosted by the Ferrari Owners Club of Northern California, this free event also features Maseratis, Italian motorcycles, live entertainment, owner interviews, and award presentations. Unlike many concours events that focus solely on judging, Concours Carmel is designed as an interactive, festival-style experience where visitors can meet owners, hear the stories behind the cars, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this charming village-by-the-sea.
