City of Sevierville Statement on Cancellation of Slammedenuff Sunday, October 5 Show

Posted 10-05-25.

The City of Sevierville has made the decision to cancel the Sunday, October 5 portion of the Slammedenuff car show scheduled at the Sevierville Convention Center. This decision follows numerous disturbances, safety concerns, and a significant strain on County-wide public resources directly related to activities surrounding this weekend’s event.

While the event itself is privately organized, the impacts on our community, ranging from traffic disruptions and reckless behavior to late-night noise and public safety challenges, have reached a level that is no longer acceptable or sustainable. The City has an obligation to protect the safety, peace, and welfare of our residents, visitors, and businesses.

Effective immediately, we are implementing a zero-tolerance policy for any nuisance activity, unsafe driving, or disorderly conduct associated with this event or similar gatherings. Violations will be met with full enforcement of all applicable laws and ordinances.

Individuals currently in Sevierville or the surrounding areas for the Slammedenuff event are strongly urged to vacate in an orderly and lawful manner.

The City will be conducting a comprehensive review of the event’s overall impact and will reevaluate its future viability at the Sevierville Convention Center. Any continuation of this event will depend entirely on significant and verifiable improvements in conduct and management.

We appreciate the understanding of our residents, guests, and business community as we act decisively to maintain safety, order, and the quality of life that Sevierville is known for.
