Unfortunately, due
to a variety of
circumstances, the
Carmel
Mission Classic will
no longer be able to
continue. We had a
fantastic seven year
run and we thank all
our friends,
sponsors,
and participants for
the success we have
enjoyed.
The Carmel
Mission Classic was
the octane fueled
inspiration of
Brother Knights
Frank DiPaola and
Richard Pepe to
bring car
enthusiasts together
and provide funding
for charitable
causes.
Since its inception
in 2013 we have
raised almost a
half a million
dollars for the
charities of the
Knights of
Columbus and the
Carmel Mission. The
blessing of the
autos has
added a most-revered
spiritual component
as well.
Thank you all and
God bless you,
Frank DiPaola, Event
Chairman

A ONE OF A KIND EVENT combining the passion for
fine automobiles with the Faith and the Palate. Enjoy wine tasting
by some of Monterey County's finest vineyards, a self-guided tour, and
beautiful live harp music in the background as you stroll through the
grounds of the crown jewel of the Monterey Peninsula, the historic
Carmel Mission. A no-host gourmet food bar is available
by a local chef. The Carmel Mission Classic has quickly become a
crowd favorite for visitors to the Carmel/Monterey area during "Car
Week", and is held annually on the Wednesday prior to the world famous
Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
From Ferraris to Funny-Cars and
Blessings to Beverages, there's something for everyone!
