The countdown is on to the 2024 Corvette Caravan and 30th Anniversary celebration at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky!  A Corvette Caravan will help mark the museum's 30th. Hosted only once every five years,  Corvette caravans from around the country will form and join other caravans as they travel across the U.S. to meet in Bowling Green, Kentucky for the big party.

The celebration also includes the 2024 Corvette Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday evening, August 31st.  The inductees are Corvette Racing Drivers Oliver Gavin and Jan Magnussen, Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Jeuchter, and legendary automotive photographer Richard Prince.

The closing concert on the 31st will be headlined by Generation Radio, which features band members from Rascal Flatts, Chicago, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

“National Corvette Museum leadership and our Board of Directors wanted to make an impact with the Corvette community and our local community, and our closing concert will hopefully be the perfect end to our 30th Anniversary Celebration,” shared Bryce Burklow, National Corvette Museum Interim Chief Operating Officer. “Generation Radio’s timeless songs will bring both communities together and create memories that last a lifetime.”

The free concert will take place in downtown Bowling Green, Kentucky and is open to the public.
