Due to the massive number of people that came out for the May show, we quickly realized that Southdale just isn't big enough for us. We easily doubled the number of attendees by moving to this more-central location.
We already have another location queued-up, but it will not be ready until July, so we have made the difficult decision to CANCEL the JUNE show.
Please check back in a few weeks for details about the new location!
We are bringing Cars & Coffee to MINNEAPOLIS!

About the Organizers
MN Cars & Coffee was founded in 2008 by Tyler Christopherson and Luis Fraguada.
They created MN Cars & Coffee to unite the local car community with an event that appeals to every motor-head. We are fortunate to have some good car shows in the area, but they tend to be a specific marque or genre of automobile. They wanted to create a car show that features EVERYTHING: Italian Exotics, American Muscle, British Classics, Japanese Tuners, and many more can be seen each month at the shows.
The event started at a small coffee shop in Minnetonka with only 35 cars. Word spread quickly, and by August there were over 200 cars. The huge success of the event necessitated a move to a garage complex in Chanhassen. The show had grown to over 1,000 show cars and 10,000+ spectators each month.
Always held on the FIRST SATURDAY of each month (May - Oct), this show is one of the largest monthly car gatherings in the country! Now, in 2022, we are now holding the events at SOUTHDALE CENTER in Minneapolis, MN!
Lastly, it’s important to them that the event is FREE to the participants and spectators. It’s important that ANY car enthusiast can enjoy the show without having to pay to do so.
MN Cars & Coffee also plays host to the cars of The Kannonball Rally!
(80) teams launch from the Wisconsin Dells to the INDY 500 this year! This rally benefits a local school, Northern Voices, and each July, the organizers host a canned food drive and get local car clubs to compete against one another for the most donations. Then, each September, they rally for "The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children" on The KannonFALL Rally!
Their passion for the automobile industry began long before they can remember. From Hot Wheels and slot-cars, to sports cars and track days, they live and breathe cars. Please join them at the next event and share in their passion.
We’ll see you there!
