Spring Rod Run ~ April 10-12, 2025
The Pigeon Forge Rod Run, located inside the LeConte Center, is the area’s largest automotive gathering. The spring event will feature a massive swap meet with hundreds of show cars, a car corral, top 25 awards, ultimate 5 awards, a $8,000 cash giveaway plus so much more!!
The Rod Run originated in Gatlinburg in the 1970s. By 1982 this event moved north to the Grand Hotel in Pigeon Forge and was renamed The Grand Run. In 1986, another change was made and the event split into two separate events. The Grand Run remained at the Grand Hotel and Shades of the Past became it’s own event at a new location. Then in 1991 MCS Promotions took over the Grand Run and made it’s premier in September and was renamed Fall Rod Run. The Spring Rod Run was added four years later in 1995. In 2014, both shows were renamed The Pigeon Forge Rod Run.
This event is family-friendly and offers free spectator parking at the show! Everyone is sure to have a blast!!

Anniversary of Titanic's Maiden Voyage ~ April 10-15, 2025
On the anniversary of Titanic’s maiden voyage, the Titanic Museum pays special tribute to the 2,208 passengers and crew throughout the week.
There are over 400 real Titanic artifacts located inside the museum. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by one of its costumed cast members and given a boarding pass to become an actual passenger aboard the ship. Once inside, step back to 1912 and explore the over 22,000 square feet of history. The crew members honor the 2,208 passengers and crew by sharing their stories.
While inside, experience the 28 degree water, sit in an actual size lifeboat and see the only actual Titanic photos that exist on display. You can also play a 1900s Grand Piano, look inside a grand first-class stateroom similar to the ones the Astor’s shared and see a third class cabin. You are also invited to walk the replica Grand Staircase. This staircase was built from the ship’s blueprints, replicated with precise accuracy and in full-scale.
The new Jack and Rose Exhibit will enable guests to see the world as Jack and Rose viewed it. For the first time, guests can relive the climatic “I’ll never let go” moment.
You’re always welcome to purchase tickets in advance on Titanic’s website.
