2026 Event Review

Despite a chilly and overcast start to the day, the 2026 Dalhousie Show & Shine drew an impressive crowd as vehicle owners and spectators arrived at the DCA ready to enjoy a great lineup of cars and trucks while supporting an important cause. Once again, all proceeds from the event benefited Enviros – a not-for-profit organization that provides supports for mental health, addictions and housing to make our communities stronger.

This year’s event featured exactly 100 vehicles, and spectator turnout remained strong throughout the day. Our volunteers were busy selling 50/50 and raffle tickets and serving over 300 hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza slices. We are grateful for the support of the local community for showing up – especially on a cool day.

This event continues to thrive thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, the DCA and the dedication of our volunteers. While final numbers are still being confirmed, we know that over $10,000 was raised this year through entry fees, food sales, raffles and silent auction. This brings our cumulative contribution over the last 15 years to more than $45,000 for Enviros. An incredible achievement made possible by this community’s commitment and heart.

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, or simply came out to enjoy the day. Your support makes all the difference.
