As the premier destination for automotive enthusiasts, we’re thrilled to announce an exciting update to our beloved M1 Cars & Coffee, sponsored by Golling Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram. Our dedication to hosting a car event that brings the community together is paramount.
What’s New?
In our commitment to enhancing your experience, M1 Cars & Coffee is now introducing a registration process for attendees. M1 Cars and Coffee has a significant amount of behind-the-scenes planning to provide a free event that includes coordinated parking for theme and membership cars, an operational merchandise trailer, functioning restrooms (more than a porter potty), sponsor activations (including a DJ provided by Golling Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram) and other logistics like keeping coffee hot and flowing. We appreciate the stellar car community because this event wouldn’t be what it is without them! Planning ahead gives us the fortune of understanding how many of those cars are parking in the Arena and allows us to create a layout that best fits that quantity.
