I usually arrive on Thursday afternoon, check in then head to the Baja Cantina. Last year on Friday I spent most of the day at the auctions, I found the Mecum auction and setting a great place to relax and wander around, much more accessible than some of the others, in the evening we headed into Monterey for dinner and Russo & Steele auction. Not mentioned by others is the Quail Lodge on Friday, although I think some folks got a preview last year Thursday evening wandering over from the Baja Cantina. Both Quail and Pebble require tickets in advance (unless you do the early bird sneak preview arrival) and Quail tickets were changing hands for ridiculous sums of money last year. Since the Concorso switched from Friday to Saturday I no longer attend and spend both Saturday and Sunday at the races. Whatever you choose you'll have more fun than you can poke a stick at and it's impossible to do it all so next year you can mix it up differently.

Here are my recommendations... Thursday * Tour d'Elegance in downtown Carmel
* The Pebble cars go on a tour and stop for lunch in Carmel. It's a chance to mill around these gorgeous cars without the $360 entrance fee! Fun to watch them all pull out too when lunch is over. I like to then grab lunch at one of my favorite spots there.
Baja Cantina * Great eclectic show with everything from rat-rods and Frankenstein Studebakers to Ferrari's and Cobras, and everything in between.
Friday
* Laguna Seca - Vintage racing, or more correctly "qualifying." Wander the pits and admire the machinery. * PCNC Dinner @ Los Laureles Lodge in Carmel Valley - An excellent dinner with fellow Pantera brethren, not to be missed!
Saturday
* Concorso Italiano - Unfortunately, this one is now on Saturday and competes with the best day at the races. I'll go if anyone has a vacant passenger seat. Great show none the less! * Laguna Seca - Vintage racing! This is what it's all about... Seeing the cars in action, doing what made them legendary and so desirable today! * Garth's Trackside BBQ - Immediately following the races. Great time relaxing with friends instead of sitting in traffic.
Sunday
* Dawn Patrol - Show up at 0-dark-thirty in the cold fog to watch the Pebble cars roll in. This is supposed to be quite fun, but I understand the Pebble organizers are getting much more strict about security and enforcing that you have a ticket in order to be there "legally." I've planned to do this for years, but frankly haven't been able to get out of bed that early. * Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance - Presumably the premier concours event in the country (maybe the world). Go to the tour on Thursday and save the $360-$400. * Laguna Seca - More of why we're in Monterey that weekend! Vintage racing!
I've occasionally gone to a couple of auctions, but only to look around, and if I have time.
Here are a couple additional lists of events:
