Brits on the Beach – CIB’s Big Annual Event
“Brits on The Beach” is the biggest event of the year for the OECC’s Central Island Branch. Initiated in 2000, in 2025 the event drew about 200 British cars, trucks and motorcycles. All years of British built vehicles are welcome and participants bring their vehicles from all over BC, Washington State, and sometimes even further!
Brits on the Beach 2026 will again take place at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith on July 12, 2026.

There is no entry fee, but drivers are asked to bring along a cash or in-kind donation for the Ladysmith Food Pantry, helping feed people in need in the Ladysmith area. In 2025, we raised $3700 in cash contributions as well as foodstuffs.
This annual event is a feast for the eyes. You just never know what you’ll see or who you’ll meet!
