The best-known car gathering in the Okanagan is near.
On Saturday, the Okanagan Dream Rally will take place in downtown Kelowna. This fundraiser attracts not only the most expensive vehicles in the region but also thousands of automotive fans.
For a few hours Saturday morning, Water Street will be home to supercars and luxury vehicles.

More than 250 vehicles of all types are expected to be on display before their owners take them on a short drive to Peachland and back, with children and youth in need acting as their co-pilots.
This year, funds will go to Ronald McDonald House Charities and the KGH Foundation.
