Corvette Homecoming and Chevy Invitational

What is the National Corvette Homecoming?

Many years ago, a newspaper called me to give them my perspective on what National Corvette Homecoming was. I first mentioned vendors that had different kinds of new and used Corvette merchandise, they had a fashion show for the ladies, they had seminars to teach you to care for your Corvette, and at the time they had drag racing, an all-Corvette parade, and a lot of other things to do during the day. But, one of the most important things you do at Homecoming is you come back each year to see how your friends are doing and if they have traded or added to their Corvette collection. As with any brand of car – you buy it, you take it to a show, you meet old friends and make new friends, and it turns out to be the people that brings you to most of your destinations. That is what I believe Homecoming is all about.
 
– General Admission for Homecoming only is $10 per day per person Thursday – Saturday.
– Children under 12 are admitted for FREE.
 – Both Corvette & Chevy spectator cars will be parked in Spectator Parking Lot A at the Museum
