Quickly Benicia Hosts BOBA & CARS Championship Showdown With 20-Inch Best of Show Trophy
Quickly Benicia will host its BOBA & CARS Championship Showdown on Sunday, March 8, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Quickly Benicia in Southampton Plaza (822 Southampton Road), Benicia, California. The community-voted winner takes home a 20-inch Best of Show trophy.
BOBA & CARS merges Solano County’s automotive community with Filipino-American food culture, turning a Saturday-morning style meet into an interactive, family-friendly event where attendees help decide the winner.
Registration is $50 and limited to only 20 vehicles (first come, first served with paid registration). Each registration includes over $84.85 in value:
- Silog breakfast (Tocino or Longanisa) — $12.95 value
- Boba drink from Quickly Benicia — $5.95 value
- Commemorative event t-shirt — $30.00 value
- $25 gift card to Quickly Benicia — $25.00 value
- Quickly tote bag — $10.95 value
- Competition entry for Best of Show trophy — PRICELESS
During the 8–11 a.m. show window, every customer receives three voting tickets to cast for their favorite vehicle on display, putting the trophy in the hands of the community, not a judge’s table.
“We wanted to create an event that blends car culture, boba drinks, and Filipino traditions in a way that feels authentic to our community. BOBA & CARS represents what we stand for, bringing people together over shared passions.”
— Paul Andre de Vera, Co-Owner at Quickly Benicia
Registered vehicles begin setup at 7 a.m. Breakfast and boba service start at 8 a.m., with Ilocos empanadas dropping in two batches at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. A separate-entry lumpia-eating contest runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., while Filipino-fusion plates and specialty boba drinks continue to be served until 3 p.m.
“Every time we do this, the community surprises us. You get vintage imports next to lifted trucks next to lowriders. That mix is what makes it special.”
— Lloyd de Vera, Co-Owner at Quickly Benicia
The event also features Filipinoish apparel, plus community partners including Whipt, Trend Area, DJ Verz, Treal Icons, Bigg John, and NorCal Filipinos.
Attendees without registered vehicles are welcome to stop by, vote, eat, and shop throughout the day.
Registration closes March 7, 2026—or sooner if all 20 spots are filled. Car owners can register via PayPal at bobaandcars.com.
