Carlisle, PA – Other than Bowling Green, Kentucky, there is no bigger Corvette epicenter than Carlisle, Pennsylvania and the Carlisle Fairgrounds. From August 21-23, 2025, over 3000 Corvettes converged on central PA to mix, mingle, and celebrate all things Corvette. This included special guests from Team Chevrolet with pair of ZR1X pre-production models, the very first Corvette to ever roll off the assembly line, a special racecar reunion, ZR1 showcase as part of Chip’s Choice, track activities, downtown parade and more! From the time the gates opened on Thursday, August 21, and really in the days leading up to, Corvette lovers from around the world were coming to Carlisle in droves. It’s amazing to look over an 82-acre facility and see Corvettes and enthusiasts spanning generations, and that’s exactly what Corvettes at Carlisle was all about. On the stage sat the very first Corvette; a tattered, yet regal 1953 that long ago lost its (paint) shine, but along the way has found a way to glow brightly.
