Be sure to stop by & check out our sponsors:

The 2025 event marks the 48th annual gathering of Corvettes and Chevy enthusiasts in Pigeon Forge. Due to growing interest, this year will feature a 3-day show with over 100 vendors, a swap meet, sales corral, and Show Cars (Park N Show or judged competition). The 100,000 square feet inside the LeConte Center will still be filled with show cars and vendors.

New for 2025, we’ll use the upper lot across the street, offering more space for cars, vendors, and Park N Show cars. We’ll also have VIP and Club parking, plus reserved spots for those wanting guaranteed parking throughout the weekend, with the chance to be judged as Diamond Award show cars.

We’ll host two cruises: the Tail of the Dragon Cruise on Thursday (with 400700 cars) ending at Downtown Flavortown, and a scenic cruise on Friday (200-300 cars), concluding at Hard Rock Cafe.

We are offering new in 2025, #wannawinavet give away. A 1998 Red C5 convertible. Sponsored by Large Cabin Rentals. No purchase necessary. Just sign up at the show March 13, 14, 15. The car will be given away at the end of the awards ceremony.

We are doing more daily giveaways for kids and adults. This will be at DJ trailer and will be fun trivia questions and games for the kids. Many generous donations have been made, and we appreciate the support of local vendors and companies that want us to help and get their name out there. We will post and tag them on all social media accounts.

Our charity for this year is Folds of Honor. We are excited to have them on board. We are accepting any donations or giveaways that can be added to our Silent Auction items. 100% of the proceeds will be given to them. We will also post and tag these on all social media accounts. Additionally, a portion of every ticket purchased will also be donated by Corvette Expo.

“Our Family Serving Your Family”

If you are covered by a typical insurance policy, you may be paying too much and paying for the wrong kind of coverage. Standard automobile policies may not offer Agreed Value Coverage, so in the event of a loss, you will be offered a settlement amount (Actual Cash Value) less than what it will cost to replace your “pride and joy”. There’s more, standard auto policies don’t always give a price discount for the “care, custody and control” you give your collector automobile. In short, standard auto policies do not reflect an understanding of how fine collector cars are maintained and enjoyed.

However, we at Farris Insurance Agency Inc. can offer you an insurance program that really demonstrates the value and the uniqueness of your vintage or classic car(s). We can give you a better solution by working with experts who are collectors themselves. Grundy Worldwide, Hagerty Insurance and American Collectors, have been insuring these special vehicles for almost 50 years. We provide peace of mind protection to over 4000 car collector individuals and families.

Program Features:

• Coverage for individual cars and collections.

• Agreed Value Coverage.

• High liability limits.

• Unlimited “hobby” mileage.

• $0 deductible, NC has $50 deductibles.

• Prompt, fair claim service.

• Competitively priced.

• Excellent customer service. We have 30+ years writing collectors and collections.

Singing River Corvettes was founded on May 20, 2019, by nine Corvette enthusiasts united by their shared love for the iconic car. The desire to connect with others who shared this passion led to the creation of the Facebook group, Singing River Corvettes.

From the start, the goal was to create a welcoming community for both seasoned Corvette owners and firsttime buyers. The group fosters an environment where members can share their knowledge, experiences, and enthusiasm for Corvettes, engaging with one another online and at inperson events.

The group’s mission is to offer a fun and enriching Corvette experience that reflects the spirit of the car and extends its passion to others.

What began with nine friends has now grown to over 1,300 members, expanding from North Alabama and northeastern Mississippi to Corvette lovers across the U.S. and internationally, with members in countries like Norway, Germany, France, and Australia. This global membership provides a unique opportunity to share and celebrate all things Corvette.

The Singing River Corvettes admin team is dedicated to creating an engaging platform where members can showcase their cars and stories. Many have had the chance to attend events and meet fellow members, creating lasting memories and friendships.

Singing River Corvettes stands as a true representation of the Corvette family, offering a space for both veterans and newcomers to connect and celebrate their love for the iconic car. As the group continues to grow, its passion for Corvettes only deepens, and the excitement for the future remains high.
