Outdoor Event Space & Parking in Monterey
From Car Week showcases and community events to staging, parking, and large outdoor gatherings, the FDES Portuguese Hall grounds offer a rare combination of space, flexibility, and location. With a 5,800 square foot grass courtyard, direct bar access, and more than 140,000 square feet of paved and unpaved parking, the property is built for events and uses that few Monterey venues can accommodate.
A Legacy of Faith and Community
Since 1943, FDES Monterey has honored the Festa do Divino Espírito Santo through faith, devotion, and community service. What began with humble donations and a small celebration at the Monterey Fairgrounds has grown into one of California’s largest Festas, sustained by generations of members and families dedicated to preserving this tradition.
