3. The 'Vette Set - Redondo Beach, CA
Early in May, head over to Redondo Beach, in Southern California (just south of L.A.) to check out the Vette Set, which has been taking place every year since 1965. Making this event even more worthwhile is the fact that all profits from this club’s private and public events go to charitable organizations. Do note, though, that in order to draw a larger crowd, this show is no longer limited to Corvettes only. Instead it calls upon all automotive enthusiasts to bring down their favorite cars to show off, regardless of make and model. You can find out more on their site.
