Daffodils are a primary focus of our Springfest Celebration. Over 2,000 have been planted throughout the county, and should be in full bloom for the upcoming festivities. Come and see Sevier County blooming during the months of March - June. Beginning and ending midway through these months, you will have the opportunity to "Stop and Smell the Flowers" throughout the county. Floral displays will reveal, the true colors and spirit of Sevier County.

Be sure you get everything you need and settle before the car show starts, as this is one of Pigeon Forge's most popular events and everything fills up pretty quickly once it starts. Come stay with us during the show and you won't have to leave for anything - you'll have the comfort you need right here.
Our Best Western Plaza Inn is located directly across from Patriot Park in Pigeon Forge where many of the great city events take place.
