Each
year, Peach City Beach Cruise volunteers sell souvenir buttons, and a portion of
the proceeds are given to the British Columbia Children's Hospital.The Peach City Beach Cruise is Canada's premier three day family oriented Car Event.
The stars of the show will be hundreds of the finest hot rods, millennium, antique and classic cars from all over Canada and the United States. The Peach City Beach Cruise has it all. Sun, sand, surf and the best cars and trucks from this part of the continent.
If you have any questions about the Peach City Beach Cruise events, please feel free to contact us.
The governing body of the Peach City Beach Cruise is the Penticton Historic Automobile Society, a registered non-profit society with the Province of British Columbia.
The Penticton Historic Automobile Society got its start in 1999, and is based on an idea by two local car enthusiasts, Ken Paton and Wally Hild.
Ken and Wally thought Penticton, home to many, many classic cars and Hot Rods, needed a facility where vehicles could be displayed, and young enthusiasts could be taught the art of vehicle restoration.
An automobile museum and teaching facility if you will.
With that dream in hand Ken and Wally began recruiting fellow enthusiasts, and started brainstorming fund raising ideas - which turned out to be a no-brainer - a Show and Shine was a natural.
That simple idea by Ken and Wally has resulted in the Peach City Beach Cruise being one of Canada's premier family oriented car events, and thousand of dollars have been raised towards that automobile museum and teaching facility.
But that's not all. The Penticton Historic Automobile Society is also a fundraiser for local food banks and the British Columbia Children's Hospital.
Each
year, Peach City Beach Cruise volunteers sell souvenir buttons, and a portion of
the proceeds are given to the British Columbia Children's Hospital.
Children's is home to many specialized paediatric services available nowhere else in the province, including B.C.'s trauma centre for children, neonatal intensive care, kidney and bone marrow transplants, open heart surgery, neurosurgery and cancer treatment. Children's is also a leading provider of diagnostic and laboratory services for B.C.

We are also supporters of the annual "CHBC Good News Bear" draw. Bears & Bedtime custom dress the bears that we purchase and 30% of the cost is donated to the Okanagan Valley Food Banks.
