Join us this summer for Evanston Cars & Coffee, a new series of free community events where you can admire an incredible lineup of vintage cars (pre-2000), and enjoy a relaxing Sunday in Downtown Evanston with family and friends. Mark your calendar for these three Sundays from 11AM-2PM: June 22, July 13, and August 10. All cars will be showcased on the surface parking lot behind the Evanston Public Library. At each event, registered cars will be voted on for a "Best in Show" award (one vote per person), and the owner of the car with the most votes will win a $100 Evanston E-Gift Card, courtesy of Downtown Evanston. Coffee will also be available for purchase from Outside Coffee while you take in the sights of vintage cars and enjoy the community spirit.
Sign Up to Showcase Your Vintage Car
Do you own a vintage car (pre-2000) that you'd like to showcase at one or more of the Evanston for Cars & Coffee events? Space is limited, so pre-register as early as possible before each date to ensure that there will be a spot for your vehicle.

Check-In for Registered Cars
All registered cars must enter the event area from the alley off Clark Street, just west of Chicago Avenue. Please pull your vehicle forward to the registration tent, where you will be met by volunteers who will confirm your advance registration, provide you with a placard for your car, and direct you to your parking spot. Once your car has been parked, it must remain in place for the duration of the event.
Parking for Guests
If you're driving into Downtown Evanston to enjoy the car show, we recommend parking in the Church Street Self Park garage--it's right across Chicago Avenue from the event location. The garage and metered street parking are both free on Sundays. More information about parking. Downtown Evanston is also easily accessible by bike, bus or train! For questions, please email info@DowntownEvanston.org.
Special Thanks
The City of Evanston parking lot that is being used for this event is located adjacent to the Evanston Public Library and The Woman's Club of Evanston. Both organizations have been very generous with their support for Evanston Cars & Coffee and we, in turn, have promised to be considerate neighbors and thoughtful stewards of the event area and its surroundings.
