bring them for the entire week. Carmel becomes
another area for a showcase
• Social media amplifies spontaneous gatherings
• The backdrop of Carmel gives a prestigious factor
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA 3
Background: Car Week in Carmel
• Businesses: shops don’t feel positive impact of
large influx in the evenings
• Residents: Noise, traffic, large influx, nearmisses, aggressive driving, pedestrian safety • City government: Evening increase liability
