iN PHOTOS: Supercars started their engines in Kelowna for Okanagan Dream Rally
A parade of supercars raised money for charity and gave kids the chance to ride in their dream cars in the Okanagan.
The sixth annual Okanagan Dream Rally took place on Saturday with 250 cars driving from Kelowna to Peachland and back for charity.
The Okanagan Dream Rally has raised a total of $3.3 million for Ronald McDonald House and Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.
Each car had a driver and a co-pilot; a kid whose dream is to ride in one of these lavish machines.
Thousands of people were at the start line on Water Street by Prospera Place and more were at viewing areas along the route down Highway 97.

The event’s founder Matt August said the event is a unique opportunity for the drivers and their co-pilots.
“Today's a special day, today's a day where I hope you build a bond that you'll never forget,” he said in a speech at the rally. “This is all about those kiddos right beside you.”
For car fanatics who missed the event on the weekend iNFOnews.ca has some photos.
