When my family and I moved to New Lenox in 2019, I felt a strong desire to immerse myself in the local community while reigniting my passion for cars. At the time, there weren’t many car events around here, and definitely no Cars and Coffee style meetups. That got me thinking… why not start one?

I started brainstorming and looking for the right spot. Something local, laid-back, and community-focused. That’s when I connected with Daniel and the team at Gost. They instantly got the vision, and from there, things just clicked. New Lenox Cars + Coffee was born out of a simple idea: bring people together around a shared love for cars.

Today, New Lenox Cars + Coffee is more than just an event; it's a celebration of car enthusiasts and their stories, a hub where like-minded individuals come together to share in their passion for all things automotive. It’s about the people who drive them, the stories behind each build, and the connections we make along the way. Our commitment remains unwavering:  to create a welcoming space where enthusiasts can gather, forge friendships, and celebrate what makes the car culture such an important part of our lives.
