Cars & Caves Open House at AutoPlex

Cars & Caves returns to Chanhassen AutoPlex on Saturday, April 25, opening the garage-condo complex to the public from 9 a.m. to noon. (chanhassenautoplex.com) The April event is free and is listed at 8150 Audubon Road in Chanhassen, about a 20-minute drive from Minneapolis-St. Paul, according to the venue. (chanhassenautoplex.com) Chanhassen AutoPlex says Cars & Caves runs on the last Saturday of each month from April through September in 2026, making April 25 the season opener. (chanhassenautoplex.com) The draw is not just the cars in the lot. The AutoPlex bills itself as a private garage-condo community, and the event gives visitors access to “Caves” that are not usually open to the public. (chanhassenautoplex.com, chanhassenautoplex.com) Third-party event listings describe the show as a family-friendly monthly gathering with more than 400 vehicles across a 20-acre campus, including classics, muscle cars, exotics, antiques, street rods, and vintage motorcycles. (upcomingevents.com, eventswithcars.com) Those listings also say visitors can expect coffee, drinks, and food from vendors including Dandy Lion Coffee and Dog Park Gourmet during the April event. (upcomingevents.com) Twin Cities Family says the 2026 series raises money for local nonprofits through guest donations, with 100% of funds raised going to the featured charity for each show. (twincitiesfamily.com) KSTP’s “Minnesota Live” preview this week said the 2026 season “kicks off” on April 25, putting the Chanhassen event on the metro’s weekend calendar as the outdoor car-show season starts. (kstp.com) For visitors, the timing is simple: the first 2026 Cars & Caves event is this Saturday morning, and the same last-Saturday format continues monthly through September.
