One of the largest car shows in the North East! Hundreds of exotic luxury sports cars to check out! In years past we were able to park at the Polo Grounds (at the event) but this year, as it's grown exceptionally - we had to park over by UCONN & take a shuttle bus onto the property. They had a stage with live bands, lots of "big top" circus style tents (for the most exotic vehicles), & there were also lots of food vendors / booths, and port-o-potty's.
I had the pleasure of working the dream ride this year , it was awsome to see all the amazing cars and vendors, and most importantly represent the cause! All the money that this event takes in goes to charity. I worked long hours and would definitely do it again. Thank you to everyone I worked with and thank you to everyone who participated with grace and patience. Awsome job guys also thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this happen!
I’ve been to dream ride only once, I’m heading down to my second time right now! And the reason? It’s the best car show EVER! If you like cars, Exotic, Tuners, Muscle, Classic, anything! They have it at dream ride! The whole field is full of cars, and motorcycles! This is a amazing car show for car and motorcycle fans, enthusiasts, and people who want to support a great cause! I love that the money made goes to children in need, and charity’s! I am so glad I went to dream ride, I saw some Bugattis, and Koenigseggs, Paganis, and other exotic and rare cars! If you get the opportunity to go to dream ride, DO IT! I love this show, and I even adopted a puppy! And of course, I named him Enzo, after Enzo Ferrari because we got him at a car show!
The only thing is, if you do get a dog, be aware, that you may get a dog that’s actually a teddy bear! My Enzo is such a snuggle bug! And the adoption center said he was a shy and not playful dog, but my god, we bring him home, and he gets comfortable, and he is such a good boy! He loves people, he loves snuggles, and he loves playing!
AMAZING SHOW. Definitly Reccomend that everybody visits. Saw amazing cars like nothing else. Heard many amazing cars revving their engines. All car enthusiatst should go at least once.
The fact that this benefits Special Olympics is enough for the 5 stars. This is a huge undertaking by Michael Bozzuto and his Hometown Foundation. It has gotten bigger and better over the years and has something for everyone. Weather is only thing that cannot be controlled so a day was lost along with the scheduled activities. Always get more than the price of admission and the excitement and obvious joy of the Olympians is of course priceless.
I'm happy of what dream ride does
But this year 2020 feels like the program cheated many good hearted donor's. Who not only paid in advance or on Sunday. To be turned away at the gate. After hours of sitting in traffic trying to get to the event that was already shut down by 12 pm ? Not RIGHT
Sick cars.. went whole weekend. Different cars everyday. Finally on sunday we saw a Bugatti and konasegs. Not 5 star rating cause no food. The food trucks were lame and wayyyyyyyy overpriced for just meatballs...($10) fried dough $12 what a joke.
I have been involved with Dream Ride, Dream Cruise, Dream Show weekend for the past six years and every year it gets better and better.
I have never worked with so many passionate people many of which are volunteers to make sure that the Special Olympic Athletes and their families have a great experience.
Dreamride is the best and most rewarding event I've ever attended. The food off the hook, the events were great. Every one should go and see what giving back means
Really didnt get to spend much time here but the lil bit I was there it was fantastic and the cause is great if you've never been GO uts worth it to see some of the nicest cars around
Always a great time for our family volunteering for this event! It gets bigger and better every year. There is so much to do and see. Love getting to meet all the Special Olympians! They work so hard and take such pride in all that they do.
It was my first time going, and I'll tell you what..It was awesome! If you always dreamed about getting up close and personal with million dollar+ cars. There's everything from Ferrari Enzo's, Lamborghini's, pagani, ultimate aero. Plus many foreign classics and current American muscle.
