The 2nd Annual Houston Vette Fest is on Sunday 6 December 2026 at the Kemah Boardwalk, 215 Kipp Avenue, Kemah. The organizer’s site says it is open to the public from 9am to noon. Fertitta Chevrolet presents it, and it benefits Bay Area Turning Point. The first edition was held on 7 December 2025, according to the same site.
It is a Corvette show. Owners register to display a car, and everyone else walks the boardwalk. The organizer’s Facebook event describes it as fun for the whole family and free for spectators.
