Flea Market at Ace (Sept 7, 2025) – The September flea market rolls in, possibly the last one with truly summery weather. Some vendors might be clearing out before winter, offering deals so they don’t have to store items through the cold months. Shoppers might be looking for parts for winter projects (to restore in the garage during winter). As usual, it’s a dynamic morning of community trading. By now, the Ace team and vendors have this down to a science – regular spots for certain big sellers, etc. Newcomers continue to be amazed that such an event exists at a cafe. It’s become a fixture: “First Sunday? That’s the Ace flea market.” People plan around it. It represents the grassroots, hobbyist side of automotive enthusiasm – not big shows or expensive exhibits, but everyday folks connecting over bits of metal and stories, keeping the hobby accessible and sustainable through exchange.

Jeep Meet (Sept 13, 2025) – Another Jeep Meet, akin to February’s but now in pleasant fall weather. The tagline “Freedom Lovers” fits perfectly​: Jeepers are indeed freedom lovers, exploring trails and enjoying top-down freedom in Wranglers. Expect a strong turnout of Wranglers, Cherokees, CJs, Gladiators and possibly vintage Willys jeeps. Off-road builds with mud-terrain tires and lifted suspensions will be parked next to stock daily-driver Jeeps. Some might set up little displays of their trail exploits (photo albums, mud still caked on as proof!). If there’s a local Jeep club, they likely anchor the event, maybe organizing a short convoy or park as a group. There’s an adventurous atmosphere – conversations about upcoming off-road events, swapping of trail maps, and friendly competitions of whose Jeep sits taller or has seen tougher terrain. It’s a tribe gathering for those who value the call of the wild and the vehicle that can take them there.

Kawasaki Meet (Sept 14, 2025) – A Kawasaki motorcycle meet co-hosted by Kawasaki Switzerland and Mototech​. The signature Kawasaki lime green will be visible everywhere – from the fairings of Ninja sportbikes to the gear riders wear. Fans of Team Green unite: you’ll see legendary bikes like the vintage Z1, the GPz900R (Top Gun bike), Ninja sportbike lineup from the ZX-7R to modern ZX-10R, maybe some cruiser models like Vulcans, and also Kawasaki dirt and dual-sport bikes. With official backing, there might be a new model (maybe the latest Ninja H2 hyperbike or a new Versys) on display. Riders will debate the merits of Kawasaki’s famously powerful engines (recalling the era of the ’70s “King of Motorcycles” 903cc), or brag about how Kawasaki led the horsepower wars in the 2000s. Kawasaki’s slogan has been “Let the good times roll,” and indeed this meet is a good time for all who have ever felt the rush on a Kawi.

Hot Rod & Custom Car Meet (Sept 20, 2025) – A gathering for hot rods and custom cars, where one-of-a-kind creations are the stars​. The tagline hints that rare and unique vehicles are especially appreciated​ – “your rarity is gladly seen at the Ace.” Expect an eclectic mix: chopped and channeled 1930s hot rods with flame paint jobs, sleek lead sleds from the ’50s, modern custom builds with big-block engines on display, and rat rods with rust and character deliberately left intact. It’s a feast for the eyes – no two vehicles alike. Owners here are builders and artists; they’ll eagerly share stories of how they fabricated a part or sourced a vintage engine. The event is likely buzzing with rockabilly tunes and an old-school vibe, as hot rod culture often goes hand-in-hand with retro style. Spectators love this one because it’s pure spectacle and creativity, representing the “custom culture” where imagination is the only limit.

Harley-Davidson Meet (Sept 21, 2025) – By now almost a regular fixture, the Harley meet returns as autumn begins. There’s a noticeable difference: some riders have swapped to fall gear (leather jackets are on, maybe even some handlebar mitts appearing if it’s chilly morning). The camaraderie hasn’t cooled a bit. If anything, this might be a “farewell to the main season” meet for some, as late Sept can mark the end of frequent rides for those who don’t ride in winter. They make it count – perhaps organizing a group ride after the meet through the scenic fall landscapes. The familiar sponsor, B!XE AG, ensures continuity in support​. The meet is a testament to the enduring Harley community; through multiple meets, the turnout stays strong. It underscores that the bond among Harley riders isn’t a once-a-year thing but a lifestyle – they’ll gather as often as possible to share that bond, weather permitting.

British Car Meet (Sept 27, 2025) – Another British car gathering, likely a second one after April. This time, the presenting partner is Carrosserie Fischer AG (as per listing)​ – interestingly, Fischer was also the partner for the American Classics meet, showing their range. Once again, the Union Jack flies high as British car enthusiasts assemble their Austins, Bentleys, MGs, Triumphs, Jaguars, Lotuses and more. By late September, some may arrive in tweed caps and scarves for the cooler weather, adding to the British ambiance. The event likely mimics April’s format – all UK makes welcome – but with a different seasonal backdrop. Perhaps some classic British saloons that sat out the summer heat make an appearance in cooler weather. The meet illustrates how passion for British cars persists year-round: whether spring or fall, the call of “Only British cars please” finds an eager audience​. Tea and biscuits still optional, but plenty of camaraderie assured.

Vintage & Classic Car Meet (Sept 28, 2025) – The final Sunday of September hosts another classic meet. Autumn colors might be creeping into the trees, providing a picturesque frame for the classic cars. Some owners may declare this their car’s last run before winter storage, making it a bittersweet gathering. There’s talk of fuel stabilizers and winterization amidst the usual admiration of vehicles. The tagline seen earlier “Oldtimer Meet bei uns”​could apply – oldtimers meet with us – emphasizing that Ace is home for these cars. The meet might have a slightly wistful tone as folks reminisce about all the events of summer. Yet, it’s also a bit celebratory: one more successful outing, one more day spent living the classic car dream. Die-hard enthusiasts will of course continue to meet as weather allows, but for many casual owners, this might be a season closer. They certainly make it a good one, with engines purring contentedly before the winter sleep.

Trucker-Meet (Oct 4, 2025) – A truck meet for big rigs, where bigger is better​. This event invites truck drivers to bring their lorries (semis without trailers – “nur Solo” implies trucks will come tractor-only) to show off. It’s quite a sight: massive European long-haul trucks in bright company liveries or custom paint, alongside maybe some classic trucks preserved by enthusiasts. The motto “umso grösser, umso besser” – the bigger, the better – sets the tone​. Whether it’s a towering Scania or Volvo with chrome horns and lights, or a vintage Saurer truck from Switzerland’s past, they’re all admired. Some might decorate their trucks since it’s a special occasion (flags, lights). Truckers swap road stories, compare engine torque, and kids gape at the sheer size of these machines. It’s a different demographic than the usual sports cars, and it broadens the Ace’s community – acknowledging the truckers who literally keep the world moving. For one day, they get to be the stars, and their “office” – the truck cab – is treated like the marvel it is.

Flea Market at Ace (Oct 5, 2025) – The October flea market might be one of the last outdoors ones if weather turns later, so it could be packed. People might be both selling off before winter and grabbing things for winter projects. The mood is a bit cooler and crisper, possibly with some stands offering warm drinks. It continues the tradition strongly – the community now almost expects these and would miss it dearly if it stopped. Perhaps an announcement is made about a hiatus or indoor version if any during winter. Deals are made – better to sell that spare part now than have it collect dust till spring. And as always, new friendships are forged across the tables of second-hand goods. By now, this flea market has probably drawn attention beyond immediate locals; folks from other regions might drive in just for the unique chance to find treasure at Ace Cafe Luzern.
