Anthem Cars and Coffee

📍 Anthem, AZ (North Phoenix)  |  Founded 2019

Anthem Cars and Coffee has been bringing car enthusiasts together in the North Valley since 2019. Over the past seven years, what started as a modest gathering has grown into one of the North Valley's most anticipated monthly automotive events — drawing between 200 and 300 vehicles each month to Outlets North Phoenix in Anthem, Arizona.

About the Organizer

Anthem Cars and Coffee was founded by Brian Sheehan, a former semi-professional race car driver with a vision for building community pride in Anthem. His goal was simple: create a signature monthly event where people could come together, celebrate their shared passion for automobiles, and connect — regardless of what they drive or their background.

"Anthem Cars and Coffee is not defined by income or social status; it has become an equalizer," Sheehan has said. Garage-built projects and tuner cars are just as welcome as rare exotics and supercar collections. That inclusive spirit is at the heart of everything the event stands for.

The organizers keep the experience comfortable year-round by moving between the shaded west lot in summer and the open east side when the weather cools down. You'll usually find a coffee truck and local food vendors on site — grab a cup, walk the lot, and enjoy the cars and conversation.

Cars and Coffee Coalition

Anthem Cars and Coffee is a proud founding member of the newly formed Cars and Coffee Coalition — and the very first organizer to come on board. As a cornerstone of the Arizona cars and coffee scene, they helped set the standard for what a well-run, community-first car meet looks like in the Valley.

As an OG organizer of the Best of Arizona Cars and Coffee, Anthem Cars and Coffee has participated in all three events.
