Cars & Cigars 2026

Cars & Cigars Smoke Detroit took place on June 4 at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill. The evening combined a luxury car show, Rocky Patel cigars, Celani Family Vineyards wines, and a live auction to benefit metro Detroit charities. It included a reception, cigars, live music, appetizers, beverages, a sit-down dinner, and presentations. Cars & Cigars Smoke Detroit was founded in 2014 by Tom Celani and Dario Bergamo and benefits underprivileged families and children. Since 2014, Cars & Cigars, along with the Hunger Free in the D radiothon with WJR News/Talk 760 AM the Monday of Thanksgiving week, have collectively raised more than $14 million for area charities. // Photographs by Patrick Gloria
