2021 NCM 27th Anniversary Celebration
Thursday September 2nd – Saturday September 4th

In the 2 plus decades since the Museum opened, the scope of the vision has blossomed to include changes such as the dedicated special exhibit hall, dedicated PDI delivery area, restoration area, full-service store, interactive exhibits and a full Motorsports park.

Every year around the Labor Day weekend we celebrate the Grand Opening of the Museum in 1994 with a participant focused event.  This year we mark the 27th Anniversary milestone and focus on the diversity of the people that Corvette has brought together for a look back on the Museum’s history and forward to the future! Registered participants can enjoy 3 days of activities in and around the Museum including access to interesting and unique road tours, special video presentations, raffles, and more during this event in honor of your help and support!

A FULL Seminar schedule is COMING SOON. We are working with each presenter to determine their ability to travel and availability.  Presentations will be a mixture of in person and Virtual.  Several presentations WILL BE VIRTUAL ONLY.

Anniversary registration is $20 for Lifetime members, $25 for members and $35 for non-members and the deadline for online registration is 5:00pm central time, Friday, August 14th, 2020.  Early registration includes a hard card badge, lanyard, event pin and dash plaque.

VIRTUAL Anniversary Registration is $20 per household. Virtual registration does not get you into ANY onsite activities or the Museum during the event weekend. Virtual registration will provide access to the virtual feed of seminars and presentations Thursday September 2nd & Friday September 3rd.
