33rd National Corvette Homecoming
Corvettes are coming to town this weekend for the 33rd Annual National Corvette Homecoming at Sloan Convention Center! You'll find hundreds of sleek, shiny Corvettes! Stroll the convention center parking lot and take a peek under hoods, chat with the owners and study the restored beauties.
Inside the convention center, see the finest Corvettes, participate in one of the many educational seminars, trade parts at the vendor swap and browse the arts, crafts and vendor marketplace. Watch the All-Corvette parade on Friday night and catch the award winners Saturday afternoon before the closing party Saturday night.
