The annual NCM Bash is more than just where the Museum’s official Corvette season begins. Every year in April, thousands of enthusiasts migrate to Bowling Green, Kentucky, effectively turning the National Corvette Museum into the center of the Corvette world. What unfolds over these three days is more than an event—it’s an experience. The moment the community reconnects, the cars come out, and the stories start moving again.

The Official Starting Line

The Museum positions the Bash as the opening act of its on-site season, and this year’s 29th annual Michelin NCM Bash delivered on that promise with authority. A tightly packed schedule brought together seminars, curated displays, road tours, track sessions, car shows, banquets, and rare behind-the-scenes access. This isn’t a passive experience—it’s immersive. Every corner of the campus is active, every building part of the story, and every attendee becomes part of something larger than a weekend gathering.
