Cars and Coffee 239 takes over the Mercato Shops in North Naples, at Vanderbilt Beach Road and US-41, on the third Sunday of every month from 9am to 11am. It is hosted by Paradise Region Gruppe, the Naples region of the Porsche Club of America, but every make and model is welcome, per the organizer’s site.
The organizer’s own calendar lists 15 November and 20 December 2026, then 17 January, 21 February and 21 March 2027. The November date is billed as the Thanksgiving edition, with the British Car Club of Southwest Florida as the featured club. The site says to expect around 400 cars and thousands of spectators.
When to arrive
Show cars should arrive no earlier than 8:30am, the organizer asks. Volunteers in safety vests direct cars to open spaces. There is no fee to show a car and no registration.
Where to park
Show cars park in the outdoor spaces around the property, as directed. Spectators are asked to use the parking garage near the Vanderbilt Beach Road entrance, so the open-air spaces stay free for cars on display. Collier County Sheriff’s deputies are stationed at both entrances, on Vanderbilt Beach Road and on US-41.
Curated parking on the VIP event lawn is available for a $50 donation, cash or check, to the month’s featured charity; for November that is Our Daily Bread Food Pantry. Everyone else is asked to give what they can at the collection point on the event lawn.
The coffee
Narrative Coffee Roasters opens at 7am, per the organizer’s list of early openings. Pura Vida opens at 8am, The Pub at 9am and Tap 42 at 10am. A different musician plays the Piazza stage each month.
