Cruise the Shore for Charity 2026
We are excited to announce that this year's Cruise the Shore event will be staged to benefit of the Kay Meek Arts Society, supporting its work to present the highest caliber of professional performing artists, facilitate opportunities for youth arts education, and maintain an inclusive, accessible, and high-standard venue for North Shore residents and visitors throughout metro Vancouver.
​
The weekend will kick off Saturday with the owners of unique, rare, hot rod, custom, classic and exotic cars for a cruise throughout the North Shore and a wind-up complimentary barbeque.
​
Sunday will feature a “show and shine” display of the Saturday cruise cars within a family atmosphere of The Village in Park Royal.
The day will include entertainment, merchant promotions, a silent auction and a 50/50 draw, with all proceeds to Kay Meek Arts Society.
“The show is an eclectic representation of all sectors of the automobile hobby.”
Dan London, Cruise the Shore organizer since 2017.
