Rochester, N.Y. — The Landmark Society of Western New York is revving up for the return of Cocktails & Carburetors, a two-day celebration of automobiles, history, food, music, and community taking place Friday, September 18, and Saturday, September 19, 2026.
The festivities begin Friday evening, September 18, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Titan Motorworks, where guests will enjoy an evening filled with great cars, food, drinks, music, and friends. Max Rochester will once again provide the catering, while the Mystic Sisters Band will provide live entertainment.
A highlight of the evening will be the ever-popular silent auction, featuring an assortment of items sure to appeal to gearheads and non-gearheads alike. Guests can also enjoy an open bar and bourbon tasting while taking in the impressive collection of automobiles and connecting with fellow supporters of the Landmark Society.
The car-centric weekend continues Saturday, September 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a self-guided tour of several private garages and car collections. The tour offers automobile enthusiasts an opportunity to see unique and rare vehicles that are not ordinarily open to the public, while also providing a chance to enjoy an afternoon with fellow automobile aficionados.
Whether you’re a lifelong car enthusiast or simply appreciate beautiful and distinctive automobiles, Cocktails & Carburetors offers a memorable way to spend a September weekend with friends and family while supporting the work of the Landmark Society.
“Cocktails & Carburetors brings together everything that makes a great event—remarkable automobiles, good food and drink, music, and wonderful people,” says Wayne Goodman, Executive Director of Landmark Society. “We’re excited to bring this popular event back in 2026 and welcome both longtime supporters and new guests.”
