Hot Summer Nites Returns To Sioux Falls With 400 Corvettes

Celebrating 30 Years of Hot Summer Nites

Hot Summer Nites is a Corvette show that has been going on in Sioux Falls for 30 years. For 25 of those years, you could always find it down on Phillips Avenue, until it moved to the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds in 2019.

This year, it is coming back to Downtown Sioux Falls. You'll find it next to the 8th & Railroad area with about 400-plus Corvettes filling the Lumber Exchange/CNA parking ramp.

This fantastic event is not only for the Sioux Falls Corvette Club members but is open to all Corvette owners and lovers, and anyone who loves hanging out with friends and family while listening to great music and enjoys seeing some truly beautiful vehicles.

You could think of Hot Summer Nites as the precursor to the Black Hills Corvette Classic. Dakota News Now is reporting that Hot Summer Nites is coming up on Wednesday, July 15, the same day that the Corvette Classic begins. A lot of the Corvette owners will probably head for the hills (literally) after the Sioux Falls show.

A Block Party Like No Other!

This event is absolutely free, and Corvette owners don't need to register. All of the activities will be going on from 6 to 10 PM on July 15 at what the Sioux Falls Corvette Club calls the "Summer's Biggest Block Party!"

So if you're a Corvette enthusiast or just love a great summer party, this is an event you won't want to miss.

South Dakota "Tunnel to Nowhere"

All controversies aside (because as we all know, there are many) South Dakota's Mount Rushmore was and remains an astonishing achievement by sculptor Gutzon Borglum and his son (interestingly enough) named Lincoln.

Many people, however, don't know that there is a secret tunnel just behind Lincoln's head (Abraham Lincoln that is, not Lincoln Borglum) that has been named one of the Greatest Places in the United States.

Sculptor Borglum believed that in time people would forget the meaning behind Mount Rushmore and that its importance would fade in the American consciousness. So he wanted an addition to the monument which would ensure that didn't happen.

Very few people have seen this "secret tunnel" behind Mt. Rushmore without the permission of the National Park Service, and to be honest there isn't a whole lot to see in the unfinished condition in which it remains.
