Port Dover Garage Tours and Lunch
2026-07-11 | Ontario
Our Corvette cruise will depart from the Boggio Fonthill Pharmacy & Log Cabin Gift Shoppe at 155 Hwy 20 W in Fonthill at 9 am for a 70-minute drive to Port Dover.
There will be a short rest break at Rich and Val Hahn’s house (499 Nelson Street West, Port Dover), and then we will drive a scenic back roads route to our garage tours. We will have a unique opportunity to view 2 impressive private car collections around the Port Dover area. This includes Steve Czerlau’s collection of Corvettes, Chevelles and an assortment of Classic GM Mid 60’s cars, just a short distance from Rich and Val’s home. From there we will take a cruise to Mike Yarek’s country home to view his collection of Dodge muscle cars. (Mike is the owner of the Chrysler dealership in Paris)
We will then head over to Long Point Eco-Adventures at 1730 Front Rd. St. Williams, ON for lunch.
Members are responsible for the cost of their drinks and meals.
Members can choose to head home after lunch or continue back to Port Dover to check out the various shops.
Rich and Val will then be pleased to host everyone at their home on Lake Erie after the tour. The downtown and beach area is just a short walk from their home.
Members may optionally choose to purchase tickets for the AC/DC Tribute Band concert at Frisky Beaver Winery that night at 7 pm (tickets are limited, availability not guaranteed)

Atlantic Nationals 2026
2026-07-15 - 2026-07-19 | Ontario
We are in the planning stages for a road trip to the Atlantic Nationals Car Show.

The Niagara Corvette Club will reserve blocks of rooms at motels/hotels in Quebec and New Brunswick, based on the number of Members who indicate their intention to take part in this trip.
RSVPs are requested by March 6th to allow us to book sufficient rooms.

The Port Colborne Downtown Cruisers Corvette Night is an annual summer feature where dozens of Corvettes and special interest vehicles gather. Taking place in the picturesque H.H.

Classic Corvette Showcase
2026-08-08 09:00 - 15:00 | Club Capri, 36 Cleveland Street, Thorold, Ontario, Canada
The Niagara Corvette Club would like to invite our Members, fellow Corvette Clubs and all Corvette enthusiasts to our annual Corvette show this summer which will be held on Saturday August 8th, 2026.
This year’s show is going to be a little different than in past years. For 2026, we are looking at showcasing the early days of Corvette by focusing on C1, C2 and C3 models, with special display parking for those cars.
Please register your C1, C2 or C3 Corvette on our website here to reserve a parking space.
Although this year we are highlighting these 3 generations, the show is still about the Corvette, and all generations of Corvettes are encouraged and welcome to attend. In addition, this year’s show has a new venue. The show will be held at Club Capri located at 36 Cleveland St, Thorold.
This Corvette show is not a sanctioned judging event, and as in past years there is no requirement to have your car judged. If you do choose to, then for C1 to C3 models, it will be a point system, and for C4 to C8, it will be people’s choice. Our traditional Piston Trophies will be awarded for Best in Class in each of the C1 to C3 Generations, and a new plaque design will be awarded for Best in Class in each of the C4 to C8 Generations. In addition, a Best in Show trophy will be awarded to the highest scoring Corvette in the C1 to C3 classes, and in the C4 to C8 classes.
It’s only $20 for your Corvette entrance and as always, spectators are free. Come on out and enjoy the food, music, 50/50, raffles and prizes and most importantly check out all the beautiful Corvettes that we all love. As the Niagara Corvette Club has done for over 50 years, all proceeds raised are donated to the Niagara Children’s Centre.
Please enter the Club Capri parking lot from Cleveland St, accessible from Richmond St, or from Lyndon St W from the Pine St S end. Access will be blocked off from Ormond St S.

We hope you will save the date and come out and join us for a great day of cars, fun and supporting a great cause.

Grand Bend Track Day
2026-09-15 13:00 - 16:00 | Ontario
Exclusive Track Rental for NCC Members at Grand Bend Motorplex
Tuesday Sept 15th, 2026 – 1 to 4 pm raceway rental
We have another great opportunity this year to take your Corvette out on the technical track (road course) in a controlled environment with your fellow Club members.
The track is fully staffed with a Marshall and corner workers, and we limit the number of cars at a time to approximately 6 Corvettes. Our target group size for this event is 12 to 14 cars. This sets the cost per car at just over $100.00 for the event, which is a great value for a private track rental that provides everyone with a tremendous amount of track time.
Each group of cars typically stays out on the track for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, after which you will want to pull back into the pits and cool yourself and the car down. Entry is controlled by the Marshall, but you can exit at any time. Passing and corner rules are to be strictly followed, and drivers are allowed to proceed around the course at their own comfort level. Passengers are allowed in the vehicle on the track (no extra cost for passengers and spectators), although helmets are required for all participants.
There is enough track time available that we may allocate a session for those who really want to test the limits of their Corvette.

Our group would meet at Prudhommes Landing around 9 am for the 2-1/2 hour drive to Grand Bend. Same as last year, a large group from the Corvette Club of Ontario is on the track before us, so arriving early provides a great opportunity to watch them in action on the track and socialize with a lot of Corvette enthusiasts.
Club members who would like to join in the drive to Grand Bend and watch the track event, without taking their Corvette on the track, are welcome to do so without any cost. Please email me separately at events@niagaracorvetteclub.com to indicate your interest in just the drive and being a spectator.
Please use the RSVP link to sign up for this event. Just enter 1 Guest for yourself, as we don’t need to know how many passengers/spectators are attending. Once the total number of attendees is confirmed, payment and event details will be provided.
Please contact Craig Gemmel at events@niagaracorvetteclub.com with any questions.
