Residents are invited to line the streets along the “Cruise” route as cars cruise through Canyon Lake after the awards presentation. Cars will cruise from the lodge down Canyon Club Dr. to Canyon Lake Dr., where they will turn right.

The cars will continue to Village Way Dr. and turn right again. Passing Holiday Harbor, they will continue as the road turns into Loch Lomond Dr., then Sparkle Dr. When the cars reach Canyon Lake Dr. again, they will turn left and go back over the causeway and turn left on Vacation Dr. They will continue to Longhorn where they will turn left towards Happy Camp. From Happy Camp, they will head back towards the lodge.

As a 5013c non-profit organization, the Car Show donates all its profits to various groups and causes in and outside Canyon Lake. It has given funds to the Canyon Lake Veterans Memorial, Canyon Lake Emergency Preparedness Committee, charity golf tournaments and student scholarships, to name a few.
