The Smoky Mountain Rod Run in Pigeon Forge is a hugely popular car show that normally takes place twice annually in the spring and in the fall. The 3-day event features a huge swap meet, a car corral and cash prizes. It attracts thousands of automobile enthusiasts, hot rod owners, classic cars and muscle cars each year. But it’s more than just a car show. It’s almost a festival of sorts.
The main show is held each year at the LeConte Event Center. But it’s common to see the entire Pigeon Forge Parkway lined with classic hot rods, lawn chairs and car owners on bikes and mobility scooters hopping from one lot to the next to scope out each other’s wares. The unofficial “street” show is arguably just as much fun as the actual event. Unless you need to beGOODHOPE, Mo.
