for the love of motoring 

Great cars. Great roads. Great company. And a drive that means more.

Driving Change

Creative Car Cruise combines a love of motoring with a genuine commitment to making a difference for WA kids.

In 2026, the Cruise raised more than $250,000 - an incredible result made possible by the passion and generosity of our participants, supporters and partners.

Every kilometre helps Variety create greater opportunities for children and families across Western Australia.

Backing Local Communities

The Creative Car Cruise takes in some of WA’s best regional roads, with carefully curated stops, local hospitality and plenty of opportunities to experience the communities along the way.

Participants also visit regional schools and see firsthand where their fundraising makes a difference - including presenting grants that help create new opportunities for local children.

It’s a great drive that leaves something meaningful behind.

Great Cars. Great Company.

At its heart, Creative Car Cruise is for people who love motoring.

It brings together iconic, classic, bespoke and performance cars for a relaxed four-day drive on the blacktop, shared with like-minded people who appreciate great roads, memorable experiences and good company.

Come for the cars. Stay for the camaraderie.
