Celebrating 75 Years of Racing and 70 Years of Corvette

This year marks a major milestone for both the world of racing and the iconic Chevrolet Corvette. Seventy-five years ago, racing legends took to the tracks to showcase their skills and push the limits of speed. Seventy years ago, the first Corvette hit the road. Today, we celebrate these two anniversaries with a special event.

Guests will get to take in the sight of 600 classic sports cars from various eras and brands lining the main streets of the village.
