2026 Vettes on the River at the LeClaire Levee -- August 22.
Saturday, August 22, 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.
LeClaire Levee, 117 South Front Street, LeClaire IA
With more than 250 Corvettes from across the county expected to attend the eagerly awaited event, the city of LeClaire's 10th-annual Vettes on the River: Vettes Supporting Vets will be held at the LeClaire Levee on August 22, the day-long happening boasting raffle drawings, a color guard ceremony, an awards presentation, and much more.
For the past decade, Vettes on the River has brought together Corvette enthusiasts, veterans, families, and the community for a special event celebrating America’s iconic sports car while supporting those who have served our country. The mission of Vettes on the River is simple: 100 percent of the funds raised through the event are donated directly to local veterans’ organizations. Over the years, the event has averaged raising approximately $13,000 annually to support Quad City Vietnam veterans’ organizations and their ongoing efforts to serve those who have served our nation.
Corvette owners are encouraged to arrive by 10 a.m. for the 10:30 a.m. Color Guard and Flag Raising Ceremony, presented by local Vietnam veterans in honor of all veterans and active-duty military members. Participants will compete for several awards, including: the LeClaire Mayor’s Choice Award; the Veterans’ Choice Awards for each Corvette (“C”) generation; the Farthest Driven Award; and Corvette Club Participation Award for the club with the largest attendance.
Attendees are encouraged to enjoy all that LeClaire has to offer, including local shopping, dining, attractions, and the beautiful Mississippi River waterfront while taking part in one of the area’s most anticipated automotive events.
Find a shuttle to take you throughout town from Front Street to LaHerradura, continue to the MindFire parking lot, and head back down Front Street to complete the loop. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., it will also stop at businesses on Cody Road to transport poker run participants to and from the north end of town.
Vettes on the River extends its sincere appreciation to the generous corporate sponsors whose support helps make this event possible and allows the organization to continue giving back to local veterans. Sponsors include: Cassatt Drywall; Zaruba’s Salon & Day Spa Services; Haffarnan & Associates, LLC – American Family Insurance; and Dan Dolan Homes.
