Smoky Mountain Thunder Memorial Ride, May 26th
For our biker guests, this memorial ride is a chance to enjoy a beautiful spring day and do a good deed at the same time! Taking place on Sunday of Memorial DayWeekend, it’s simply a ride to honor the fallen men and women who have sacrificed everything for our freedom. Costing nothing but taking donations, this 65-mile ride across five counties starts with an appearance by an American bald eagle, and the placing of a wreath at the Veterans Memorial in Sevierville is a powerful sight to behold.
