The next morning, 80 women drivers formed a spectacular parade that left Monterey and headed to Santa Barbara.

The #tour then continued toward Malibu, where the participants were able to put themselves to the test on surfboards before driving on to Rodeo Drive on Saturday afternoon, June 9th. The day concluded with a gala dinner with a charity auction at the Petersen #automotive Museum, ending with a moving performance dedicated to women by the singer Michelle Williams (Destiny's Child).
