New garages are selected every year.
Rev up for one of Pittsburgh’s most unique automotive adventures—the 5 Car Garage Tour! Climb into your favorite car and cruise to an incredible lineup of private garages filled with collector cars, rare automobilia, and one-of-a-kind surprises along the way. At each stop, participants will receive a playing card, building their hand throughout the day before the winning poker hand is revealed at the final destination.
Limited to just 50 cars, this exclusive experience offers an unforgettable mix of amazing collections, scenic drives, great food, and camaraderie with fellow enthusiasts. The tour wraps up at Stick City Brewing in Mars, where guests will collect their fifth and final card before enjoying dinner, adult beverages, live music, and a roaring bonfire at Dave Ley’s garage and home in Mars.
Space in the driving tour is limited. If the field of cars fills up, you can still join us for the evening festivities, where guests can enjoy dinner, adult beverages, live music, and a roaring bonfire while celebrating a fantastic day in support of PVGP charities.
