Spring Grand Rod Run
Join thousands of classic car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiasts as they gather in Pigeon Forge. This yearly event gives the chance to see classic autos as well as the rare and unique . There are displays of vendors from around the country and mechanic workshops to get answers to all your questions.

One of the largest highlights of Pigeon Forge's Springfest, the Grand Rod Run run. This is the kickoff to a new season of car shows in Pigeon Forge. From the 30's to the golden age of American muscle cars to the present the best cars of every decade are represented along the parkway in Pigeon Forge.

The Grand Rod Run feels more like a living history of the American automotive industry with classic cars along side rare and unusual ones. Customs and hot rods are also on display. Rare European treasures can be found as well. Many collectors make the trip to the Smokies looking to add to their collection or sell parts of theirs. From vintage autos, to project fix-er-uppers, to parts and accessories the weekend becomes a gear head's dream.

At night it seems the town takes a step back in time as many of the cars rumble up and down the strip with a cruising that spans decades. Model Ts roll next to '57 Chevys. Five decades of Mustangs show off their horse power on the strip. Every incarnation of America's original sports car, the Corvette, glides through town.

The Grand Rod Run is an exciting and entertaining event for Pigeon Forge. Come see almost a century of American industry on display and in action
