Mesa Cars and Coffee is the East Valley’s third-Saturday meet, and its organizer keeps a dated calendar. The November date is Saturday 21 November 2026, run as “Cars & Cans,” a food drive. December is Saturday 19 December, “Mesa Cars & Coffee Cars & Christmas Toy Drive,” 7am to 10am, free, with an ugly-sweater contest. January is the 16th. The venue is Village Square at Dana Park, 1850 South Val Vista Drive, Mesa 85204.
The toy drive
The organizer’s December listing names the drive and the contest but does not state what to bring; a new, unwrapped toy is the safe answer at every drive on this site. The November food drive asks for cans.
Where to park
In the shopping center’s lot at Val Vista and Baseline. The center’s shops open as the meet ends at 10am. No rules or rain policy are posted; the Arizona winter is the rain policy.
When is Mesa Cars and Coffee?
