Sea Otter Classic 2023: How to get free admission

Update: For some photos from Sea Otter 2023, go to Bike Buzz: Spring 2023 News from Bicycling Monterey.

Many people volunteer at Monterey County’s Sea Otter Classic, an annual four-day Celebration of Cycling, happening April 20-23, 2023. Volunteers earn a free 4-day festival pass, plus other perks. Contact Jeff Lindenthal at the Sea Otter Classic Foundation to learn about volunteer opportunities: https://www.socfdn.org/faq

Can’t volunteer this year? Sea Otter announced on social media other options for getting free admission to the festival on Saturday and Sunday in 2023.

On Saturday, April 22, 2023, anyone who brings a tire or tube to recycle will not need to pay the festival admission fee that is normally charged to people age 13 or older.

And on Sunday, April 23 — SOC’s Family Day — “Kids are the VIPs and can bring two (2) adults to get in FREE with a child 12 & under.” Great! A child age 12 or younger can bring (one or) two adults, and the adult(s) will not need to pay the festival admission fee.

Sunday is Family Day at Sea Otter. Kids are the VIPs and can bring two (2) adults to get in FREE with a child 12 & under 🎉 🎉 🎉
