Perth's cars and coffee scene runs to its own rhythm: one big monthly Sunday meet everyone knows, a couple of Saturday night meets that pull a real crowd, and one-off shows and club runs filling the gaps. Here is the month on one page: what is on each weekend, what it costs, and what to do with the Sundays that are open.
Dates and any changes are on each event's page, linked below, where you can RSVP and see who else is going.
First Sunday: open, so go for a drive
No established first-Sunday cars and coffee is listed for Perth yet, so use the morning. The classic Perth club run is up into the hills: Kalamunda, Mundaring Weir Road and back down through Gooseberry Hill, an hour of corners twenty minutes from the city. For longer, Toodyay and York are each about an hour and a half out.
Check the Perth car events page first: the one-off Sunday shows often land on the first and last weekends, and a show beats an empty car park.
Second Sunday: open too, or take the Saturday night
Same story on the second Sunday. If you would rather have cars than corners, Perth's answer is a Saturday night meet, and there are two below. Otherwise the coast is the other Perth drive: Cottesloe north along West Coast Highway to Hillarys.
Third Sunday: Custom Cars and Coffee, Midvale
This is the one. Custom Cars and Coffee runs on the third Sunday of the month at the Midvale Speed Dome on Farrall Road from 9am, and it is the closest thing Perth has to a flagship monthly meet. Muscle cars, hot rods, JDM, classics, exotics and bikes all park together, with catering vans doing food, drinks and hot coffee. Display entry is $10 a car, which buys a venue that fits Perth's best street cars in one place. The dates are locked in months ahead, so this is the meet to build your month around.

Last Sunday: open, with one exception
No regular last-Sunday meet either, but this is the weekend the Byford Classic Car Club uses for its bi-annual open Meet and Greet at the Byford Districts Country Club. All cars welcome, up to 200 classics and customs expected on display, coffee and food vans on site, and a gold coin donation at the gate for a good cause. When it is on, it is the best Sunday of the month. The rest of the year, that weekend is yours.

Saturdays: the night meets
Last Saturday: The C4C Club Saturday Night, Armadale
The C4C Club runs its Saturday Night Car Meet on the last Saturday of every month at Bunnings Armadale on Armadale Road, from 7pm. Any car, and the evening lighting makes it a different kind of meet: less coffee, more chrome under the lights. The club exists to make classic registration simpler in Western Australia, so it is also the place to ask about concessional licensing without joining anything first.

Monthly: Rumble in Rocko, Rockingham
Down south, Rumble in Rocko runs a monthly Saturday night static meet in Rockingham: "No B.S. Just Cars", family friendly, bikes welcome. Dates on the club page.

Weeknights: Byford, second Tuesday
The Byford Classic Car Club's monthly meeting is on the second Tuesday at the Byford Districts Country Club, 6:30pm, with many members arriving from 5:30pm for dinner. It is open to anyone thinking about joining, and with more than 400 members it is one of the biggest all-makes clubs in the state. Test a club before you pay for one.

The pop-ups: Ayani Car Collective
Perth's modern and exotic crowd gathers around Ayani Car Collective, which runs meets rather than a fixed slot: a meet at the new Carco in Midland, an Underground meet, and a curated Auto Picnic at Langley Park during the Celebration of Motorsport in September.

Meet etiquette, briefly
Arrive in the first half hour for a spot with the cars. Park where you are pointed. No revving and no skids on the way out, ever: every one of these meets exists because a venue says yes each month, and one idiot is how that stops. Take photos, talk to the owners, and post them on the car's page afterwards so the next person searching that car finds it.
The one-off shows and Motorplex weekends are in the biggest car events in Perth guide, and the clubs behind most of them are in Perth car clubs worth joining. Everything is on the Perth car events page.
