While you’re visiting Pigeon Forge and the Smokies for a car show, make sure you don’t miss our incredible exotic car attraction in downtown Gatlinburg! Why should you check it out? Here are a few reasons:

1. Escape the Pigeon Forge crowds: car shows bring a lot of traffic, and while Gatlinburg may be busy too, it will definitely be less crowded than the congested Pigeon Forge Parkway

2. Meet fellow car enthusiasts: one of the best things about going to a car show is meeting like-minded people, and that’s the same with Speedwerkz! 

3. Explore a new generation of cool cars: whether you own a classic car or a modern hot rod, you’ll be able to appreciate the rare supercars featured in our collection! 

4. Take a break from the heat: outdoor car shows are hot, high-energy events, so we’ll be here for when you need a break in the air conditioning! 

We hope you’ll stop by and experience our unique attraction the next time you’re in town for a Smoky Mountain car show. Read more about what to expect and check out a first timer’s guide to our Gatlinburg car museum!
