what happened in pigeon forge this weekend

This past weekend in Pigeon Forge saw a major event around the Slammedenuff Car Show that escalated into chaos. After large crowds gathered at Jimmy's Market following the car show, there were chaotic scenes including engines revving, tires spinning, people climbing on cars and the gas station roof, leading to fights and police intervention with tasers. The situation resulted in significant public safety concerns including blocked emergency access and property damage. Due to this disorderly conduct, the city of Sevierville canceled the final day of the Slammedenuff Car Show, citing the impacts on the community and strain on county resources as unacceptable. Police and city officials had warned against unsanctioned gatherings earlier in the week, emphasizing safety and emergency response access, all of which were factors in their decision to cancel. Aside from that incident, Pigeon Forge continued its usual fall events like the Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival, Anakeesta's Bear- Varian Fall Festival, and Dollywood's Harvest Festival, which are typical October activities in the area. In summary, the major highlight and disruption this weekend was the chaotic aftermath of the Slammedenuff Car Show and its cancellation after law enforcement had to respond to significant public safety issues at Jimmy's Market.
