    2024 Pigeon Forge Spring Rod Run - Nova

    Tourist towns are no stranger to big crowds and swells of activity, and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is the perfect example, with a population of approximately 6,000 people. Any given weekend doubles its population, but Rod Run weekend is a whole different animal. It’s been this way for more than 40 years.

    The show’s location in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains is reason enough for the hype, but a three-mile strip of Highway US-441, known as the Parkway, serves as the perfect cruising strip. Pigeon Forge was formed in 1961, due to the rapidly expanding tourist town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The town is situated between Interstate 40 and Gatlinburg, a mountain town that was known for its wild atmosphere during the rod run events of the 1970s. The nightlife of the Gatlinburg rod runs eventually led to it being run out of town.

Back on November 12, 2023, the state issued a ban on vehicles that are modified to lift the front end higher than the rear. Owners of Carolina Squat vehicles were given six months to remove the modifications, with police only issuing warnings to drivers who were pulled over. That grace period ends this month on May 10th.
