'Something magical': Massive B.C. car show drives into Penticton

An annual summertime tradition returned to downtown Penticton on Saturday, June 22, as hundreds of cars and thousands of people took over Lakeshore Drive for the 22nd edition of the Peach City Beach Cruise.

"There's really something magical about this show," said Donna Reimann, president of the Peach City Beach Cruise. "It's so nice to see so many people here and always special to see all the cars here every year." Reimann, who has served on the show's board since its inception in 2001, said around 200 volunteers worked together to help make the show a reality.From old street rods from the 1950s to newer corvettes and even old-school service trucks, vehicles from all eras were on display along Lakeshore and at Lakawana and Rotary parks.Festivities kicked off at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, when hundreds of eager car enthusiasts from across North America picked up their registration forms and parking passes.

"It was such an incredible experience to see so many early in the morning anxious and excited to get going, that was a highlight for me," Reimann said.
