Do I have to be a member to attend? No. The meeting is open to the public. Cars and Cappuccino members park in a controlled area closest to the mall.
Is there a cost to attend? No. There is no charge to attend a Cars and Cappuccino Members’ Meeting.
Can I bring my own show car to display at the event? Not exactly. The parking spaces closest to Maggiano’s and Cheesecake Factory and continuing outwards are specifically reserved for our members. The general public can utilize the parking spaces in the parking garages adjacent to the event area.
Are there security or CMPD officers present during the event? Yes. In fact there are both.
Where should we enter and where do we park? All arriving traffic should enter via the stoplight off of Sharon Road. All traffic will exit via the traffic light at Sharon Road.

What about rain? Will the event still happen if the weather is bad? Cars and Cappuccino is a “weather permitting” event. Members will get an email announcement about the status of the event early that same morning. Other attendees can check Facebook or Instagram for a post about a weather decision by 6:30 AM. If it is canceled (postponed), we will generally try to reschedule the event for the next Sunday of that same month – again, weather permitting. If it rains again on this next Sunday, the event is canceled for that month.
Can I bring my family and pets? Yes, but kids need to be attended to by their parent or guardian, especially around the member parking areas and featured cars. Pets MUST be on a leash at all times. Please do not bring pets that become agitated or aggressive around other animals or crowds. For the sake of your pet and the other attendees, please leave them at home.
Can I take pictures? Generally speaking, yes. However, photography is specifically prohibited in the areas adjacent to the traffic lanes where attendees exit onto Sharon Road.
What about drone photography? Drone photography is specifically prohibited.
Can I sell my car at Cars and Cappuccino? Members can place a “for sale” sign in the interior of their car. Non-sponsor dealer cars and cars with dealer plates are prohibited in the member’s parking area. Non-sponsor “wrapped”, decaled or painted cars promoting a business are prohibited in the member’s parking area.
I’m interested in becoming a partner/sponsor of Cars and Cappuccino events, who do I contact? All sponsor inquiries can be sent to: carsandcappevents@gmail.com
