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!

All,

Welcome to our 14th season, something I could never have imagined back in 2009 when we first started!

This year represents an opportunity to return to normal as the threat of the pandemic fades into the rearview mirror. I'm thrilled to announce the return of a couple of our most popular events, such as the Arena District Meet which will be presented by Libertas Wealth Management, along with new events, like a meet at Polaris Fashion Place and one at the headquarters of Meyer Shank Racing, the 2021 Indy 500 champions.

We're also introducing our first-ever membership program this season! Your VIP membership unlocks special events, drives, etc. as well as discounts from select partners. Memberships are limited to 100 people, include a numbered membership card, and can be purchased here. All member-only events will be published on a private, members-only schedule, none of the events on our regular schedule will ever require membership to attend.

Season 14 would not be possible without the support of our sponsors and we're honored to welcome back Midwestern Auto Group, ESOTERIC, Premier Bank, Libertas Wealth Management, and Di Lusso Real Estate! These companies are the backbone of our community and we can't thank them enough.

Please make sure you support all of these great companies, we truly could not host full seasons of events without their support. 

Season 14 begins April 23 at Midwestern Auto Group, I can't wait to see everyone there.

See you soon,

Paul Milligan
Founder, Columbus Cars and Coffee

We were saddened to hear of the passing of John Castleman II, a fixture at our meets for years.

John was the proud owner of the red Porsche 911 pictured here, with the plate N SO DEEP, and he never missed an opportunity for a drive, car show, Cars and Coffee, etc.

Our thoughts are with the Castleman family as they mourn John's loss. We will certainly miss seeing him at our meets.

A parking space will be left empty in John's honor for the rest of this season.

Since our first meet on June 27, several cities in Ohio have adopted legislation requiring face masks in public. In order to comply with these new laws, and to keep our community safe through an abundance of caution, we're requiring face masks at all meets until further notice.

Our meets are held in a variety of jurisdictions, and several of them may not require masks. However, to avoid tracking which locations require them and which don't, and to maximize safety for everyone, we have adopted a face mask requirement across the board.

We understand that some people do not wish to wear a face mask. However, to keep our season going during this unusual time, this small change should enable us to continue hosting meets for the rest of the year in full compliance with the law and various policies. 

If you are unable or unwilling to wear a face mask, you may be asked to leave. Our events are private, held on private property, or public property with a private event permit, so all attendance is at our sole discretion.

We have update our COVID-19 Policy accordingly, you can review the policy here.

Thank you for helping us keep Season 12 going!
