What do you get when you combine the most scenic drive in North Carolina and more than 800 of the nation’s hottest looking classic cars?

Registration for the event is open to pre-1972 vehicles or highly modified late model vehicles. Vehicle registration is $40 at the event. Registered vehicles are eligible for cash drawings totaling $10,000 plus!

The Rod Run, also held each spring in Cherokee, features a busy vendor area, swap meet, and daily entertainment. Cherokee’s many cultural attractions and proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway make the Rod Run an event the entire family can enjoy.
