Coming Events

Explore the heart of the Salinas Valley  with engaging community events hosted by the
Monterey County Agricultural and Rural Life Museum!
From enriching experiences to family-friendly activities, MCARLM offers something for everyone in the King City area.

4th of July and our biggest event of the year is a great time to join us for the Valley Heritage Day Car Show & Family Fun Day here at
San Lorenzo Park.

This August you won't want to miss this year's annual Murder Mystery Dinner.  Open to members only, but don't worry, you can become a member at the door!

September brings some spooky fun your way as we explore the historical buildings after dark!  Learn about ghost sightings & maybe take home your own paranormal experience to share.
Join us this October for the annual Local Lore event, where you can share spine-chilling tales around a bonfire, enjoy spooky games, and even board a Haunted Hayride...
if you dare.

We would love for you to join us in January at our annual fundraiser  that's equal parts fun & delicious!  The Drury Tankersley Clam Chowder Feed & Steak Dinner is a time honored tradition we hope you will be a part of. 

Don't miss out on the other many free community events we plan throughout the year.

As a cornerstone of King City community events, our museum provides free and memorable opportunities for the whole family to connect and enjoy together. Make sure to mark your calendar and bring your friends to celebrate the spirit of King City & the Salinas Valley with us.
