Cars & Coffee Corona meets every Saturday from 7am to 9am at The Shops at Dos Lagos, the open-air center on Cabot Drive in Corona. The organizer’s Facebook page gives those hours in its weekly photo posts, most recently on 17 October 2026, when it invited readers to join “every Saturday” at Dos Lagos.
The same page says the meet was started by Kraig Strom, a financial planner and paralegal, on 5 September 2015, and calls it “the largest weekly car show in the Inland Empire.” Its welcome is short: all cool wheeled vehicles. The organizer’s Instagram account sums it up as “All wheels.”
When to arrive
The posted window is two hours, 7am to 9am, and the organizer publishes no early-arrival advice. The Facebook page posts a photo set from almost every Saturday, taken by Jim Dorsey, so the week before tells you what the lot looked like.
Some first Saturdays bring a guest club. In October 2026 the organizer announced that 909 Mopars would join the first Saturday of the month.
The organizer publishes no rain policy. On 31 October 2026, with rain in the forecast, the meet went ahead, and the organizer wrote that it was “very entertaining” for those who came.
Where to park
The meet is at The Shops at Dos Lagos, whose management lists the center at 2780 Cabot Drive, Corona, CA 92883 The organizer gives the place simply as Dos Lagos and publishes no map of which rows the meet uses.
Dos Lagos is a working shopping center with its own events, and some Saturdays the meet shares it. On 17 October 2026 the meet shared the space with the annual cancer walk. On 24 October the organizer reported that access was blocked off for a Fire Safety Foundation cornhole tournament, and on 31 October a Halloween event changed the entrance. On a morning like that, follow the center’s signs and the meet’s own Facebook page.
The coffee
Coffee and donuts are part of the morning. The organizer’s posts mention coffee and “a variety of fresh donuts,” and an October 2026 post credits the donuts to Baker’s Dozen & Deli Delights. No price for either is published.
How it started
Kraig Strom started the meet at Dos Lagos on 5 September 2015, per the organizer’s Facebook page. In September 2026 the organizer marked its 11th anniversary with a giveaway drawn live at the show.
Before you go
The organizer publishes no written rules. Dos Lagos lends its lot to the meet every week, and the center’s goodwill is what keeps it there: arrive quietly, park in marked spaces, leave the revving and burnouts for somewhere else, and keep the drive aisles clear for shoppers and event crews.
