Welcome to a major milestone for Columbus Cars and Coffee®, our 15th season! 

We have a packed schedule this year, including the return of two of our favorite events; the Columbus Auto Show and our legendary Season Opener Party!

If you haven't attended a Season Opener Party before, this is our launch party for the new season, and we're celebrating in style on April 22 at the Municipal Light Plant, which you may recognize from the iconic yellow smokestack visible from across downtown. The venue is a completely renovated 120 year-old power plant, built in 1903 by the City of Columbus to power the earliest electric lights in our city. Fast forward 120 years, it will host a 350+ guest party to celebrate our incredible car community, and help us celebrate our 15th season! Tickets will become available March 11.

After the Season Opener Party, our meets begin just one week later at the Midwestern Auto Group campus in Dublin on April 29, and continue throughout the year on the schedule posted here.

We're honored to welcome back all of our Season 14 sponsors for Season 15!

Midwestern Auto Group, ESOTERIC, Premier Bank, Di Lusso Real Estate, Libertas Wealth Management, and The Garage Door Guy have all been incredible in making these events possible and we owe them our gratitude and our support. You can look forward to seeing them throughout the season.

In addition, we have a special returning sponsor, Mr. Bill Bishop and Associated Insurance Agencies! Bill and his team have been amazing supporters for us over many seasons and our insurance is managed by them as well. Please say thanks to Bill the next time you see him! 

Last, but certainly not least, we're excited to welcome three new sponsors; Resolute Motorsports Club, MIT45, and 7th Gear Exotics. Please join us in thanking them for their support and look for them at upcoming events! We can't wait to introduce you to them.

Please review the schedule, mark your calendar, and we'll see you in two weeks at the Columbus Auto Show for an exclusive early access on March 18 at 9AM! To join us there, buy your tickets here using promo code "Season15," which unlocks a discount and gives you an hour of early access before doors open to the public, along with complimentary coffee!

Season 14 has officially concluded and we couldn't have asked for a better day for our Season Finale! 

The perfect weather meant Midwestern Auto Group was completely full of incredible cars, from a Ferrari Daytona and LaFerrari to muscle cars, classics, and everything in between.

Thanks to Premier Bank, Libertas Wealth Management, Di Lusso Real Estate, ESOTERIC, and The Garage Door Guy for making it all possible! We truly could not have events like this without their support.

Keep an eye on the Columbus Cars and Coffee website in February 2023 for Season 15 news and announcements.

​Until then, we'll just be staring at this photo...

Mike Shank and his team at Meyer Shank Racing rolled out the red carpet for us to host a meet at their new headquarters in Pataskala and we can't thank them enough for their hospitality!

Highlights included their Indy 500 winning IndyCar, IMSA championship winning Daytona Prototype, Fernando Alonso's Formula 1 car from 2007, a pedigreed Porsche 962, a Porsche 918 Spyder, a Porsche Carrera GT, and an entire lineup of Ford GTs.

Thanks to everyone who joined us in Pataskala, it was a meet we will never forget!

The Columbus Cars and Coffee Season Finale is October 29, 2022 at Midwestern Auto Group!

Thank you to our friends at ESOTERIC for hosting a fine morning on Saturday! We packed their lot, and several nearby, with many of the hottest cars in Columbus for another successful Columbus Cars and Coffee meet! 

Turnpoint Church in Groveport held their second annual Community Connect event, starting with a Columbus Cars and Coffee meet!

​We brought a diverse group of muscle, classic, exotic, and race cars to kick off the successful, family-friendly day at Turnpoint.

Thanks to the entire Turnpoint Church community for inviting us to be part of their special event!

We've always known that the Arena District is one of our most popular locations. That was the response in a survey we ran late last year, but you don't need to have survey results to see that people LOVE being on Nationwide Boulevard in the heart of the city for Columbus Cars and Coffee!

We want to send a big THANK YOU to Nationwide Realty Investors for partnering with us on the return of the Arena District Meet, we truly could not do the event without their support.

In addition, Libertas Wealth Management presented the event this year, and we thank Adam and his colleagues for making these opportunities possible!

Of course, the entire season would not be possible without our season sponsors; MAG, ESOTERIC, Di Lusso Real Estate, Premier Bank, The Garage Door Guy, and Libertas Wealth Management. Please support these great companies! 

DJ Axcess and Backroom Coffee Roasters each contributed to the atmosphere with their respective talents and they deserve our recognition as well.

A highlight of the show this year, Genius Garage brought their Lotus T125 and their Lykan HyperSport to share with us. Thanks to Casey and Taylor Putsch and their team for making the trip to Columbus. We always enjoy seeing them!

Finally, a special shout out to Kristen McEnery, our project manager and coordinator of all permits and paperwork. Kristen works behind the scenes to make these large-scale events happen and her talents are vital to our success. Thank you, Kristen!

​Until next time...

We were flattered to be asked by Polaris Fashion Place to bring a Cars and Coffee meet to their location on Fathers Day weekend.

The mall is a great, central location within the city, with nearly limitless parking, so we knew the turnout would be excellent for the event.

Wow, the turnout was truly amazing. The perfect, mild weather helped to bring 400+ cars to the meet, ranging from a Lola T70 to a McLaren 765LT Spider and an incredibly diverse array of cars in between.

Thanks to all of the car owners who participated, and thanks as always to our amazing season sponsors! 

Our first Members Only event of the year, reserved for our 100 VIP members, was a great success!

The day started with coffee and bagels at ESOTERIC followed by a 2-hour drive NE to Dundee, Ohio for a tour of the Created Hardwood workshop. Phil and his team from Created Hardwood showed us the many stunning products they're making.

After the tour and a cutting board giveaway, we drove about 30 minutes to Wooly Pig Farm Brewery for lunch. 

Thanks to everyone who joined us for this event, and special thanks to Todd Cooperider at ESOTERIC, Phil Hicks at Created Hardwood, and the entire team at Wooly Pig Farm Brewery for helping to make our Saturday so much fun!
