Festivities to Honor Monterey’s Coastal Heritage
MONTEREY, Calif., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Monterey Peninsula is where California’s past and present come together in the best way imaginable. With the U.S. turning 250, Monterey is celebrating with parades, live music, and community events that capture the spirit of our region. Each of the Inns of Monterey are your ideal home base for soaking up local history while being right in the heart of the festivities.
Guests can enjoy parades winding through downtown, live music on Cannery Row, and festive events all weekend long. The celebrations also feature historic reenactments, family activities, and local food vendors. Monterey’s rich history comes alive at sites like Steinbeck Plaza & Memorial, a tribute to the sardine canning era and John Steinbeck’s legacy; the Presidio of Monterey and San Carlos Cathedral, California’s oldest stone building; Monterey State Historic Park with its First Theatre, Custom House, and Old Whaling Station; and the Cooper-Molera Adobe, blending 1800s architecture with a modern bakery and café.
Visitors can take historic walking tours along the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail, try the interactive Treasure Hunt: The Ride on Cannery Row, or hop aboard the nostalgic MST Trolley connecting downtown to the aquarium and waterfront.
