Pillow pets, stuffed animals and quite a few Santas made their way down Macquarie Street, horns beeping and arms waving to the onlookers.
The parade was for the Ulysses Toy Run to raise money and provide toys to the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal.
Dubbo and Western Plains Ulysses Branch president Rob Humphries said the ride had great support from local motorbike groups, Dubbo City Council, local businesses, the police and members of the community.
"We've had around 180 [people] for the last couple of years but I'm really hoping to break 200," Mr Humphries said.
He said every business that was approached about putting up a flyer was happy to help out the good cause.
"Unfortunately there are people in the community doing it a lot harder than others and we want to do anything we can to help out."
Participants were required to pay a gold coin donation to join the ride and water bottles were also on sale to raise additional funds.
After driving through the CBD, the toy run was followed by a social ride to the Drover's Dog Tavern in Eumungerie for a barbecue.
