Welcome to the 49th Annual Corvette Expo and Chevy’s in the Smokies.
We are excited to have Corvettes and Chevy enthusiasts back in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. We are the longest running Corvette Show in America. Located at The Leconte Center, inside there are 100,000 square feet where we have 100+ Vendors, and 120+ Diamond Award Show cars. Outside we have 2 lots, VIP/Club Lot and the Upper Mountain Lot. There we have 325+ VIP/Club and outside Diamond Award Show cars. The Upper Mountain Lot will hold Swap Meet, Vendors, Sales Corral and Park N Show Cars. DO NOT MISS THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE PORTIONS AT THE EVENT. So much to see. And there is a walk over bridge and shuttle service that runs every 15 minutes and takes you to the Upper Lot.
Don’t forget we have 2 cruises. We start on Thursday March 19, our Tail of the Dragon Cruise. Smoky Mountain Corvette Club will be leading the way around 318 curves with 400+ cars “tailing” behind. Cruisers can meet up at Downtown Flavortown to dine in and share their experiences on the ride. On Friday March 20, we will have our Hard Rock Scenic Cruise. Muscle Car Ministries will be heading up this cruise with 300 of their closest friends. A scenic cruise is through the Great Smoky Mountains and ending at Hard Rock Café. Cruisers can dine in and listen to some great music, while talking about their cruise. You don’t want to miss this or seeing them as they all leave the Upper Mountain lot with a police escort.
We have the 50/50 Cash Giveaway. Tickets can be purchased inside The LeConte Center and outside at the DJ Trailer and the registration trailers. We will have daily giveaways for kids and adults, fun trivia questions and games. Also at the DJ Trailer, we will have the Park N Show Awards on Friday at 3:30pm and Saturday at 4pm. These awards are the “Best Of” picks for outside cars. If your car is in a spot and has card in the dash, you could win any of these awards.
Back for 2026, #wannawinavette corvette giveaway. We have a 2001 Yellow C5 convertible, sponsored by Large Cabin Rentals. No purchase necessary. Just sign up at the show March 19, 20 and 21. The car is inside The Leconte Center main hall right in the middle. Go by and check it out and put your name in the box. The car will be given away at the end of the awards ceremony on Saturday night. Someone will drive away that night with a great car.
We are honored to bring back our friends with Folds of Honor, TN Chapter. Last year, we raised enough money for one scholarship. With your help, we made a difference and changed the life of a deserving family. It was truly an honor for us. And this year, we have doubled the donations. There are over 50 items to bid on. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Folds of Honor. Additionally, a portion of each ticket sold will also be donated by Corvette Expo. The Silent Auction items are displayed near the #wannawinavette, in the middle of The LeConte Center main hall. So, make sure you go look at all the items donated, place your bids and let’s help families that have made the ultimate sacrifice. Cut off for bids is Saturday March 21 at 3pm.

MEETING SACRIFICE WITH HOPE SINCE 2007. It began with LT. Col. Dan Rooney’s flight home from his second tour of duty in Iraq. An F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Ait National Guard, he became painfully aware of the realities families face when a loved one in uniform is fallen or disabled.
As his fight landed, the pilot announed they carried the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board. Lt. Col. Rooney watched as Corporal Bucklin’s twin brother walked somberly alongside the flag-covered casket to meet his family on the tarmac. Among them was the deceased Corporal’s young son, Jacob.
Since that night, Lt. Col. Rooney has commited his life to rallying patriotic Americans and meeting sacrifice with hope through the Fold of Honor. Since 2007, Folds of Honor has provided life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military. And now, our mission expands to the families of America’s first responders. On our watch, those who protect our freedoms and our families will know they are not forgotten.
