Event details

The Spring Rod Run is Pigeon Forge’s biggest rolling car show, drawing show cars, vendors, and plenty of curbside people-watching along the Parkway. Kids love the color and chrome, and parents love how easy it is to mix the event with restaurants, arcades, and quick detours into the mountains.

When you’re ready for fresh air, swap horsepower for trail time in Great Smoky Mountains National Park or a sunset walk along the Little Pigeon River.
