More Than Just a Drive

At the center of Central Alberta Dream Drive are the kids—our co-pilots.

Each child is paired with a driver and given the unforgettable experience of riding in their dream car. For children facing developmental, health, or family challenges, it's more than just a ride-it's a moment of confidence joy, and possibility.

These are the moments that stay with them long after the engines turn off.

As the day comes to a close, sponsors and drivers are invited to The Finish Line Gala — an exclusive evening celebration featuring dinner, a live auction, and a private concert headlined by Brett Kissel himself. It's the perfect way to cap off an extraordinary day: great people, a legendary performer, and a cause worth celebrating.

A Day Built for Community

Central Alberta Dream Drive is a free, family-friendly event that brings the community together through a shared love of cars, connection, and giving back.

The day begins at Westerner Park with a high-energy car show featuring classic, exotic, and specialty vehicles. Guests can explore the lineup, enjoy live entertainment, visit the kid zone, and experience a vibrant festival atmosphere.

As the day unfolds, the event transforms into something truly special—our young co-pilots take their seats and set off on their dream drive through the city, cheered on by the community every step of the way.

Whether you're a car enthusiast, a family looking for a fun day out, or someone who simply wants to be part of something meaningful—this is an event you won’t want to miss.
