BETHLEHEM, Pa., March 17, 2023 \u2014 The sun will be shining, the engines will be revving, and the coffee will be brewing as we approach the eighth annual spring and summer\u00a0Cars & Coffee<\/a>\u00a0series in the Lehigh Valley, presented by Koch Automotive Group. A free event for the community, Cars & Coffee, encourages car enthusiasts from throughout the region to come together for a fun-filled morning featuring a variety of vehicles of all makes and models. The series typically draws more than 20,000 visitors to SteelStacks throughout the year. Opening day is scheduled for Sunday, April 16 from 9 a.m. to noon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited for the eighth annual Cars & Coffee series on the SteelStacks campus,\u201d event co-creator Dan Kendra said. \u201cWe value our partnership with Koch Automotive Group for this event and look forward to welcoming car enthusiasts from throughout the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cars & Coffee features a variety of unique, exotic and classic cars from the Lehigh Valley and beyond. The Mack Truck Stop at the Levitt Pavilion will serve coffee, breakfast sandwiches and muffins, all available for purchase during the event.<\/p>\n

Cars & Coffee will be presented one Sunday each month from April through September with the diverse themes of American Muscle, European and Japanese vehicles. The 2023 dates are confirmed to be April 16 \u2013 Opening Day, May 21 – All Makes, June 4 \u2013 European Theme, July 16 \u2013 American Muscle, August\u00a0<\/a>27 \u2013 Japanese Theme, and the Grand Finale on Sept. 17. All events will be held from 9 a.m. to noon.<\/p>\n

The first ever Cars & Coffee event was presented in 2013 by Dan Kendra and Dr. Johnny Chung whose goals were to bring car collectors together to showcase their prized vehicles in a fun, relaxed environment. Their vision has become a phenomenon to the car world of Lehigh Valley with no plans for stopping in the future, as it creates a strong bond within the community like no other.
\nBeing able to see the car and truck community come together to show their dedication and passion for their vehicles is one of the many reasons the SteelStacks Campus continues to flourish. Some of the generous vendors for this event include Koch Automotive Group, Beadz Auto Detailing, The Clean Garage, Lehigh Valley Motors, America on Wheels and Shine Techs.
