Everything We Know About the Daikin Park All-Stars Car Show

What Makes This Show Different

The All-Stars Car Show will transform Daikin Park’s field, stands, concourses, and adjacent areas into a city-wide car showcase. Cars will be on display across:

The field warning track and home plate area
Stadium concourses
North and South Diamond Lots
Apache Grove and Crawford Street

More than 200 cars are expected, including:

Hypercars from brands like McLaren, Bugatti, Ferrari, and Pagani
Vintage muscle cars, such as Camaros and Mustangs
Custom JDM builds and rare imports
Film-featured vehicles, with a few surprises under wraps

Two major unveilings are planned—one at 12:00 PM and another at 3:00 PM—adding a level of anticipation for both sessions.

Tickets and Entry Levels

The event offers three access tiers, depending on how close you want to get:

General Admission includes access to all exterior and concourse-level displays.
Field Access gives you a walk across the stadium’s warning track, getting you up close to the cars on the field.
VIP Admission (SOLD OUT) includes early access, a pass to the Diamond Club lounge, refreshments, and closer views of the unveilings.

Tickets went on sale May 30, and organizers are expecting a full house across both sessions.

A Show for the Local Car Community

Houston has always had a strong car culture, from lowrider shows to the Art Car Parade. This event offers a rare chance for local owners to display their vehicles at a professional stadium.

Organizers are still accepting submissions. Car owners can email abe@coffeeandcars.net with photos and details of their vehicle for consideration. Although not every entry will be accepted, it’s a way for locals to participate in an event with a national profile.

“We want this to be about Houston. That means involving the community and giving car owners a new way to share what they’ve built,” said Coffee and Cars co-founder Abe Levitz in a June 20 interview.

Beyond a Car Show: Music, Food, Family Experiences

The All-Stars Car Show includes more than just automotive displays. The day will feature:

Live music and DJs
On-field ceremonies, including a special community presentation around 1:00 PM
Food vendors offering traditional stadium fare
Sponsor booths with product demos, giveaways, and meet-and-greet opportunities

It’s designed for families, enthusiasts, and first-time visitors alike—people who might not attend a typical car show but are curious about what happens when cars and baseball intersect.

Giving Back Through Cars

Proceeds from the event will support the Astros Foundation, which funds:

Youth sports programs
Educational outreach
Veteran and military family support
Domestic violence prevention efforts
Childhood cancer research
Homelessness response programs

Coffee and Cars has a history of pairing its events with charitable goals, and this one is no exception. According to the foundation, the funds raised will directly support programs across the Houston area.

Why Houston?

This event could’ve launched in any city, but Houston makes sense. It’s one of the largest car markets in the country, with a strong base of collectors, builders, and casual fans. And with Daikin Park’s retractable roof, the event can proceed rain or shine, an important factor for Texas weather.

Coffee and Cars, the team behind the event, has hosted monthly gatherings in Houston since 2011. They’re known for organizing well-run, accessible events that draw in everyone from car club regulars to curious weekend visitors.
