Okteenerfest returns to East Tennessee September 23-26
From daily drivers and outlaws to garage queens and concours winners, all 914s are welcome at Okteenerfest! Make plans now to join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, a bit of showing off, and a truckload of give-aways. What’s that? You say your 914 is on jack stands? No worries. Plan to attend anyway as there is always an empty seat available. You won’t be disappointed.
Okteenerfest returns to its roots in the Smokies of east Tennessee and will be held in “action packed” Pigeon Forge. This year’s route features the world famous Dragon and its 318 curves in 11 miles. As usual, the day drive includes not only a ton of twisties, sweepers, and ear-popping elevation changes but plenty of stopping points to get out, stretch, and enjoy the scenic splendor of the mountains. The lunch stop this year will be at Iron Works Grille in Tellico Plains. After lunch, we’ll hit the Cherohala Skyway.
In addition to the driving, Okteenerfest features plenty of good eating, an awards ceremony, tons of give-aways from some very generous vendors, a Peoples Choice Car Show, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet gathered in a single place.
The fun begins THURSDAY afternoon with event check-in. Watch and be amazed as fellow teeners arrive and the parking area fills up with a kaleidoscope of colors. Meet up with friends new and old to catch up on what’s been going on the past couple years!
Thursday evening will feature a short “sunset drive” to experience the beauty of the Smokies.
FRIDAY begins early with the “main event” – a drive on the area’s fantastic mountain roads. With planned rest and lunch stops along the way, the daylong drive is a 914 lover’s utopia.
After the drive, attendees have Friday evening free to do as they wish. Many will gather to eat dinner and then later hang out and socialize. With the event based in Pigeon Forge, there is PLENTY to see and do.
SATURDAY begins with a People’s Choice Car Show followed by a “free” afternoon to go for a drive, shop the many outlet stores, or enjoy some of the many attractions found along the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. A swap meet is being considered if enough interest is shown.
There are also other planned activities to be held throughout the weekend such as Tech Sessions, 914 Quiz, and more!
SUNDAY morning will bring the sounds of 914s rambling out of the parking lot as the event ends and attendees head home.
What more could you ask for? Mark your calendars and be sure to join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, a bit of showing off, and a truckload of give-aways in a unique setting that you won’t want to miss.
