THE NATION’S LARGEST MONTHLY FAMILY-FRIENDLY FREE, ALL MAKES ALL MODELS CAR SHOW!
THE FIRST SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH
Caffeine & Octane is a nationally recognized all makes, all models car show that attracts over 2,500 vehicles and 30,000+ fans at every event. Our Atlanta event is held (rain or shine) the first Sunday morning of the month from 9 AM - 12 PM at Town Center at Cobb, located on the Northwest side of Atlanta in Kennesaw GA.
The Caffeine & Octane faithful get up very early to watch the parade of cars that begin arriving well before sunrise. We like to feature cars that defy known automotive niches - if it has wheels and a motor, you'll find it at Caffeine & Octane! One thing we can guarantee is that you'll always see something new at every show!
C&O is free for spectators and also free to exhibit your own car! All show spaces are first come first serve and no pre-registration is required for parking - so arrive early for the best spots!
DAY OF SHOW
The C&O show area is located directly in front of the Food Court between JCPenney and Belk with the closest spectator parking between Belk and Macy's. Additional spectator parking is available surrounding Town Center at Cobb. *The best show entrance is off of Town Center Drive.
SHOW PARKING GUIDELINES
Caffeine & Octane stretches across multiple show lots. Gates open for show cars in the Central Lot & Exotics Lot as early as 7:30 am.
The main lot (Central Lot) is controlled by gates and C&O staff manages access. The Central Lot includes the C&O Feature Area and other monthly themed special display areas. The goal of the Central Lot is to highlight featured & themed vehicles and still maintain variety by only allowing a certain number of the same makes & types of vehicles within this lot. C&O is an all-makes, all models show and the Central Lot is a reflection of that mission. Show cars can enter the Central Lot through Gate 1,Gate 2, or Gate 3. - there are NO EXITS PRIOR TO 12:00 PM when parking in the Central Lot!
The Exotics Lot is controlled by gates and C&O staff manages access. The Exotics Lot is for cars commonly considered exotic, and Porsches! Spaces in the Exotics Lot are first come first serve, but owners are free to arrive and leave this lot anytime during show hours.
The Exhibit Lots are open to all makes and models on a first come first serve basis. This lot is not controlled by gates and C&O staff does not manage access. Vehicles in the Exhibit Lot may park earlier than 7:30 AM and leave anytime. This lot is typically used for very special daily drivers - those show cars that don’t want to commit to staying until 12:00 PM, motorcycles, late arrivers, and group/car club parking (as we don’t allow large groups to park together in the Central Lot). Each vehicle onsite is only allowed to save 2 spots and spots can not be reserved after 8:15am!
NO SPEEDING, NO CRUISING, NO REVVING, NO BURNOUTS, NO TWO-STEPPING, NO LOUD MUSIC!
Please respect our neighbors and keep the noise to a minimum, so we can continue to hold C&O at Town Center Mall!
