Default Carlisle or Funfest ?

I've been to Corvettes at Carlisle, going again this year, but I've never been to Funfest. Which is better and bigger? I love Carlisle, but I see Funfest advertise 15,000 Vettes, that's 3 times Carlisle

I've never been to Funfest, either, so will be interested in responses. We have been going to Carlisle for 15 years in a row and wouldn't miss it. To us, it's the epitome of Corvette events.

Funfest ( I have never been) has a great Corvette turnout but Carlisle has thousands of vendors. Looking at Corvettes is great, but to me, it's far more interesting to walk through the huge vendor area at Carlisle. Plenty to look at and buy

WOW ! I didn't expect all the replies to be from Eastern Mass. Elaine, this will be my second Carlisle, I,m bringing Bill Mendes he's the president of our club, Silver City Corvette Club. This will be his first! We were at Lorenzo's last week, good turn out. We will stop in and say Hi. Less than 4 weeks

I was at Lorenzo's also but may have already left. Yes, by all means, stop by our little "oasis" in Carlisle. We'll be on a corner of the road that goes right down to the food court and will have our Callaway with us this year.

I have been to both and if I had only one choice I would attend Carlisle. Funfest is a good time but I consider Carlisle one of the best shows in the US.
