Art in the Adobes: the Hidden Treasures of Monterey

Downtown Monterey is buzzing: a number of new businesses have opened or will open soon (Restaurant 1833, Caffe Trieste, Pinkberry and Starbucks… with more to be announced soon).

Here’s another reason to explore Monterey’s rejuvenated downtown: the weekend of Sept. 30-Oct. 2, the inaugural Art in the Adobes festival will display masterpieces of California art that have been hidden from public view for decades. The venues: some of Monterey’s most historic adobes, including the former home of Robert Louis Stevenson.

Some of California’s greatest painters, sculptors and photographers lived in Monterey in the late 19th Century, producing some of the most important works in the cultural history of the West.

Along with an opportunity to view some of the finest examples of the period, this new festival will feature lectures, live period music, and an opening night reception.

We’re including two free day passes to Art in the Adobes if you book a stay in this one bedroom, one bath penthouse apartment overlooking Monterey Bay that includes the Sept. 30-Oct. 2 weekend. It has a view worth painting—and every accoutrement you need in a “home away from home.”

Monterey Jazz Festival Sept. 16-18th

It’s been called a tribal gathering, a party, an improvisation… and a “cultural colossus.”

Around here we just call it the Monterey Jazz Festival – and we wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Now in its 54th year, this year’s event takes place the weekend of Sept. 16-18 at the Monterey Fairgrounds. Over 500 artists play on eight stages… here’s just a few of the headliners:

  • Herbie Hancock
  • Sonny Rollins
  • India.Irie slotsonlinecanada.ca
  • Huey Lewis and the News
  • Hiromi
  • Joshua Redman

Tickets just went on sale for single day and 3-day admission packages. Don’t wait!

On Another “Note”

As of this writing we still have availability for the Jazz Festival weekend. Put your feet up at this lovely ocean view two bedroom/three bath home in nearby Pacific Grove.

It’s just a short walk to downtown shops and restaurants – and minutes from the Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf and Carmel.
