If Saturday’s big Drivers Festival feels like too much, Sunday has a lower-key alternative. PERC Coffee’s East Lake location hosts a last-Sunday-of-the-month Cars & Coffee, scheduled for October 25 starting at 8 a.m. The Atlanta car-show calendar describes roughly 50–75 cars and free spectator admission.
The appeal is proximity to the cars and their owners without an elaborate festival schedule. You might see something obscure, meet a local Porsche owner, or simply have coffee while wandering a parking lot of interesting machines. Because this is a community meetup, the precise turnout and mix are never guaranteed.
Arrive early if you go. Bring a camera and a question about a car you are considering; the most valuable part of these gatherings is often an unscripted owner conversation.
What to do: Consider free Cars & Coffee at PERC East Lake Sunday from 8 a.m. as an alternative to Saturday’s larger festival.
