The short version
The Porsche Club of America’s twelfth Werks Reunion Monterey lands Friday, August 14, 2026 at Monterey Pines Golf Course (1250 Garden Road). Spectators are welcome without a paid admission ticket; on-site parking is $40 per car cash-only ($20 motorcycle; complimentary with active military ID). Judged-field and corral Porsche entries are separate paid MotorsportReg products — and for 2026 those display spots are listed sold out, so most visitors should plan as spectators.
Background
Werks Reunion has become Car Week’s big free Porsche lawn — a Friday counterweight to Quail pricing and auction credentials, and one of the easiest ways for peninsula visitors to see serious cars without a Concours ticket. Note the Monterey Pines Golf Course location (not the old fairgrounds assumption).

Planning tips
- Bring cash for the gate — organizers warn there are no ATMs on site for the $40 spectator parking fee ($20 motorcycle).
- Arrive early; check-in and judged-field placement start around 7:00 a.m., with the official program from 9:00 a.m. and awards around 2:00–3:00 p.m.
- Food vendors often prefer contactless cards even when parking is cash — pack both.
- Same Friday as The Quail and Reunion race day. Werks is the free spectating option if you want Porsche density without a Carmel Valley lawn ticket.
- Do not assume you can still register a display car — MotorsportReg listed corral and judged spots sold out for 2026; reconfirm before you trailer.
Common questions
- Is Werks Reunion free?
- Spectator admission is free. On-site parking is $40 per car cash-only ($20 motorcycle), or complimentary with active military ID. There are no ATMs on site for parking.
- Do I need to own a Porsche to attend?
- No. Spectators are welcome without owning or registering a car. Corral and judged-field spaces are Porsche-only paid registrations and are a separate product from walking the lawn.
- Is this the same as The Quail?
- No. Quail is a paid Carmel Valley lawn the same Friday. Werks is PCA’s Porsche field day at Monterey Pines — easier on the wallet, Porsche-focused, and open to spectators without a lawn ticket.
- Can I park a non-Porsche and walk in?
- Yes as a spectator in the paid spectator lot. Follow volunteer directions to spectator parking; do not assume a street spot near the golf course will be legal or close during Car Week Friday traffic.
