Joco Cars and Coffee isn’t just another car meet—it’s where the energy, passion, and people behind the machines come to life. While the incredible cars are the draw, the heartbeat of this event is the stories, the community, and the shared excitement that fuels Kansas City’s car culture.

Founders Ryan Charpentier, Stephen Kaspar, Quinn Kaspar, and Kevin Hodges launched Joco Cars with a distinct vision: to create an event by the community, for the community. Rejecting the idea of self-benefit, they’ve built an avenue where the focus is shifted away from the founders and onto the people. Their goal was to provide more than just a car show; they wanted to create a platform for individuals to build genuine relationships and lasting friendships that enrich their lives far beyond the parking lot.

At its core, Joco Cars serves as a powerful tool to give back. The event is intentionally designed to benefit local special needs organizations, the community, and our schools. By creating a space that enriches the people in and around these institutions, Joco Cars turns automotive passion into tangible support for those who need it most. It is an environment built to uplift, educate, and provide resources to the Kansas City area.
