Default Sharkfest 2026, July 11, West Dundee, IL

Though primarily a celebration of the C3 "Shark" ALL Corvette years are welcome to take part. Come and enjoy our show along the Fox river featuring a DJ, 50/50 with fine pub food and drink available inside the VFW hall.

Third Gen Corvettes will be selected to win trophies from NCRS judges and the top three NON "Sharks" will receive awards selected by the show participants.

A YouTube video will be shot and newly designed event T-shirts will be available for purchase, there will also be vendors with products of interest to our community.

Corvette (only) show car entry fee is $20, this includes half price T-shirt coupon and a door prize ticket. Spectators are welcome to park in the lot across South First street free of charge.

Please pass this along to any 3rd Generation Corvette owners you might know!

We hope you ALL can take part in what is shaping up to be the best "Sharkfest" yet!

This sounds like a great event. I’ve always liked seeing a big mix of generations together, even if the focus is on the C3 Sharks. The Fox River setting, vendors, and the NCRS judging all make it feel like a proper community show. Cool to see they’re giving the top three non‑Sharks some recognition too — that keeps everyone involved. I might have to swing by and check out the third‑gens people bring out.
