Corvettes Roll Into Dunn for a Fall Car Show on October 17

An impressive gathering of Chevrolet Corvettes is headed to Dunn on Saturday, October 17, 2026, when Cape Fear Team Corvette hosts its annual Fall Corvette Car Show at Bleecker Chevrolet.

Whether you own a Corvette, follow the latest sports cars or simply enjoy a fun outing, spectators are welcome at no charge. The gathering promises a chance to see a variety of cars up close and talk with people who share an enthusiasm for the iconic American sports car.

When and where

The event takes place at Bleecker Chevrolet, 1200 East Cumberland Street, Dunn, NC 28334. Gates open at 8:30 a.m., giving visitors and entrants time to arrive and get settled.

Corvette registration runs from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. and costs $25 per Corvette. Trophy presentations are scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Spectator admission is free.

The organizers welcome Corvettes from across the region, so visitors may see an interesting mix of generations, colors and custom touches. Part of the fun at a car show is noticing the details that make each owner's vehicle distinctive.

More than a lineup of cars

The day includes food vendors, a 50/50 raffle, trophy awards and opportunities to meet fellow car enthusiasts. Organizers also describe a family-friendly atmosphere, making the event suitable for visitors who may not know much about Corvettes but enjoy seeing remarkable automobiles.

Some people come to admire paint colors and body styles; others are interested in interiors, wheels or the engineering behind different Corvette generations. You don't need to be an expert to appreciate the work and care owners put into their cars.

For longtime fans, a Corvette show can also bring back memories of favorite models. For younger visitors, seeing a row of sports cars in person may be the most exciting part of the afternoon.

A chance to support the community

Cape Fear Team Corvette describes the annual event as a celebration of cars, friendship and its community and charitable initiatives. The 50/50 raffle is one of the activities listed for the day, alongside food vendors and trophies.

Visitors who wish to take part in a raffle should ask organizers on site about the drawing, its terms and the organizations it benefits. The supplied event information does not list those details.

Because the event is outdoors at a dealership, it's sensible to check the event details for any last-minute updates before leaving home. Comfortable walking shoes and a little extra time to look around can make the visit more enjoyable.

Bringing a Corvette?

Owners planning to show a Corvette should note the $25 registration fee per car and the 9:00–11:00 a.m. registration window. Awards are planned for 2:00 p.m., so participants may want to allow enough time to enjoy the full event.

Registration information is available on the event's registration page. The poster also includes a QR code linking to that registration page.

Not entering a car? There's no spectator admission charge, and the show is open to people who simply want to admire the vehicles, enjoy food and spend time with other car enthusiasts.

Plan your visit

Mark Saturday, October 17, on your calendar: gates open at 8:30 a.m., car registration is from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., and trophies are presented at 2:00 p.m.

Find Bleecker Chevrolet at 1200 East Cumberland Street in Dunn. Whether you're there for the Corvettes, the friendly competition or a fall day out, the show offers another reason to explore the local community.
