What to expect

Central Alberta Dream Drive is a full-day community event made up of three main experiences:

1. The Car Show (Morning)

Explore an incredible lineup of vehicles, enjoy live entertainment, a fun-filled kid zone, and all your favourite snacks and refreshments.

2. The Dream Drive Rally (Midday)

Watch as our little co-pilots head out on their dream ride through the city— cheered on by the community.

3. The Finish line gala (evening)

The day ends in style. Sponsors and drivers gather for an exclusive evening of dinner, a live auction, and a private concert by Grand Marshal Brett Kissel — a celebration as unforgettable as the drive itself.

While a select group of these incredible machines will hit the road as part of the Dream Drive rally, the full lineup stays on display all day for guests to explore, photograph, and admire.

And the cars are just the beginning.

Our Kid Zone brings the excitement to the next generation — with hands-on activities and interactive experiences designed for young dreamers. Live entertainment sets the mood while local food vendors keep everyone fuelled for the day. Whether you're a lifelong car enthusiast or just looking for an unforgettable family outing, this is a day you won't want to miss.
