The 2021 Michelin National Corvette Museum Bash – April 22 – 24, 2021!

Each spring, towards the end of April, the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky hosts their annual NCM Bash! The “Bash” is the kickoff to the Museum’s annual event season. It is also a showcase for all the latest Corvettes! If you’ve ever wanted to be part of the new Corvette roll-out, this is the place to be!

There are a variety of activities each year for both the casual – and the serious – enthusiast! There are seminars, cruises, driving experiences, tours to historic landmarks around the Museum, bourbon tastings, and much, much more! In addition to all of the planned events, there are the cars! This year the Museum will include introductions to next years models (and might even include our first “official” sneak peek at the 2022 Mid-Engine Z06 Corvette!

The NCM’s annual Hall of Fame Induction Banquet will be hosted on Friday from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. This annual event celebrates “Corvette Royalty” – engineers, historians, and enthusiasts – who have significantly contributed to the Corvette culture.

While most of the “extra” events have additional fees associated with them, the general admission ticket price still gives you a lot of access to the “Bash” For starters, you’ll be able to attend all the open seminars, see all the cars, visit all the vendor booths, tour the parking lot (which will be packed FULL of Corvettes), and of course, tour the Museum!

For anyone looking for a more comprehensive experience, we encourage you to review the schedule (provided below) and select the events that call to you! Please note – most of these events sell out early, so don’t wait until the weekend of the Bash to get purchase your “extra” items.

The 2021 Michelin NCM Bash runs from Thursday, April 22nd thru Saturday, April 24th. If you’re planning on attending – or even thinking about it – please reach out to me via email at [email protected] or by sending us a message on our Facebook page. Each year, we try to meet as many of our fans and followers as we can. This year is all the more special because it will be the first time we’ve been able to come together in nearly two years (assuming the COVID numbers allow public gatherings by that time.)

We hope you’ll come to the 2021 Michelin NCM Bash. We promise it’s a good time you’ll never forget!!
