The Valley Guild and the Steinbeck House invite you to join us for our first annual East of Eden & Engines Car Show Event, a free community celebration of classic and vintage cars and the literary legacy of John Steinbeck.
Held at the Salinas Intermodal Transportation Center, this lively, family-friendly event will feature community partners, kids’ activities, delicious food by the Steinbeck House and local vendors, a silent auction, and an exciting showcase of classic cars.
