Cars and Coffee Grand Rapids (2024)

15/09/2022

What a wrap to 2022!! Last Saturday, we concluded our 2022 Cars and Coffee Grand Rapids event schedule with one of our best events in our history!

Graciously, Berlin Raceway partnered with us and opened their entire facility for an unprecedented On Track show and driving experience! Over 160 vehicles spent the morning with us enjoying the beautiful weather, cars, and venue. Ending the day with parade laps on the track was the cherry on top of a fantastic day! It's safe to say we think this is just the start of what's to come at Berlin!

We want to extend a special thank you to all of our registered drivers this year. Without your continued support, and willingness to share your passion for the love of the automobile we would cease to exist. The act of sharing your passion ensures the continued growth of our automotive community throughout West Michigan, and further enhances our ability to produce new and exciting venues that simply do not occur anywhere else!

As usual, and never overlooked, our Annual Partners deserve a thank you from everyone involved, without their injection of support in a multitude of ways, we are unable to produce these experiences to the general public, and truly appreciate everything our partners provide.

HUGE THANK YOU!

What a Return! 🎇
What an amazing resurgent return to Downtown yesterday! The outpouring support, participation, and energy yesterday is completely what this restart was about after returning from the unplanned 1.5 year hiatus!
Producing this return to the city was not an easy task, and realistically our most challenging since we started the event. But today, we reflect back at that work and seeing everyone’s excitement, both in person, and with the sharing of their event experience, and now we are confident it was all worth it.
We also need to thank our loyal group of event supporters that also believed this event to be necessary to our automotive community! Without them, we simply could not do it.
Thank you to the teams within our team, that make this happen.

Stay tuned in for the full media recap of Saturday’s event, and oh yeah, see ya next month! IT’S BACK!!😎😎
