Due to new safety and security regulations adopted by Monterey County Fairgrounds, patrons are no longer allowed to bring chairs onto the fairgrounds. No worries, ConCHAIRto offers a hassle-free solution that makes it easy for you to quickly (and lightly!) enter the fairgrounds. Chairs will be ready for you when you arrive and removed for you when you leave. It’s just that simple.
Due to new safety and security regulations mandated by Monterey County Fairgrounds, a Clear Bag Policy is in effect for this year’s Festival. Please make sure your items are in clear or mesh bags. Small clutches will be accepted. Large totes must be clear to be allowed into the Fairgrounds. Click here for MJF Policy.
