LBCC Cars and Coffee | 2026 | Long Beach, CA
LBCC Cars and Coffee is rolling into Long Beach with an early campus meet built around good cars, good people, and a cause that stays close to the students.
This one has a classic cars and coffee feel, but the student-run angle gives it a little more heart. All makes and models are welcome, so the morning could bring out anything from vintage cruisers and muscle cars to imports, trucks, Euros, project builds, and clean daily drivers. Coffee and pastries help set the tone, while the campus backdrop keeps it feeling relaxed and easy to walk.
Hosted by the Long Beach City College Automotive Club, the event supports students in the automotive program and helps fund student opportunities. That gives the morning more purpose than a simple parking-lot hangout. The racing sim challenge adds a fun competitive twist, with runs available for a small entry fee and a prize for the fastest lap. There is also a raffle giveaway built around custom automotive fan parts, giving people another reason to stick around between laps through the cars.
Happening at Long Beach City College in Los Angeles County, the setting makes sense for a fundraiser tied directly to future automotive talent. A campus car meet can bring a different kind of mix, from student-owned builds to community favorites and local enthusiasts who want to support the next wave of technicians, builders, and car people. Expect a friendly morning crowd, plenty of car talk, and a lineup that feels more open than overly curated.
Grab coffee, bring a few dollars for the raffle or sim challenge, and take your time with the lot. LBCC Cars and Coffee feels like the kind of morning where the cars get people there, but supporting the students gives the whole meet a little extra meaning.
