EXPERIENCE APPALACHIA HOW IT’S MEANT TO BE EXPERIENCED… ON A MINI.
WHAT THE HECK IS “BRAPPALACHIA” AND WHAT IS THIS EVENT?
“Brapp” isn’t just a sound - it’s that high-pitched, ear-tickling brrrrrrrapppppppp! that mini bikes scream out when you twist the throttle like you mean it. It’s the symphony of two-stroke fury and four-stroke attitude echoing off the hills of Appalachia.
Minis in Brappalachia is a RIDING event. We have everything planned out for you, including a full day to run passes on the Tail of the Dragon and the Foothills Parkway with a central meeting place to stop for breaks, grab some water and indulge in some burgers and hotdogs (all free, of course), provided by BadAzz Small Bore Creations.
We will have another full day of group rides, along with a meet and greet and a closing party.
This 2 day event is one of the most chill riding events you’ll encounter. Just bring your bike and a good attitude and we’ll provide the rest.
WHERE SHOULD I STAY?
Where you want! We suggest Townsend or Maryville, but Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are great options too!
There is a large event going on in the Pigeon Forge/Sevierville area the same weekend so lodging may be limited.
We suggest booking ASAP due to the amount of tourists that will be here during the event timeframe.
WHY DID WE CHOOSE THESE DATES?
Great question! With the overwhelming feedback we received wanting another event in the fall, we finally caved. After hosting the Smoky Mountain Small Bore Rally for 7 years, we figured “Why not? We got this.”
So let’s do it. We started this event in 2025 and it was a success!
Bike Week is a big event locally in October and there will already be a ton of things to do.
Most bars and restaurants in the area will have bands and food/drink specials, plus motorcycles will be everywhere!
Our favorite tattoo artist, Ally B Inked will be in town on her mobile studio serving up fresh ink.
