Pigeon Forge

Military Reunions

Honor the Bond. Celebrate in the Smokies.

Pigeon Forge is proud to be the gathering place for military reunions year after year, and it’s easy to see why veterans and their families keep coming back. Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge offers the perfect setting for reconnecting. Whether your reunion brings together a small unit or hundreds of veterans and their families, Pigeon Forge has the space, the hospitality, and the heart to make every moment count.

From spacious cabins and full-service hotels to resort properties with group meeting space, you’ll find accommodations that keep everyone close while giving each family room to relax and recharge. The beauty of the Smokies sets a peaceful backdrop for reconnecting, swapping stories, and making new memories alongside the people who share a bond that few others understand.

Pigeon Forge makes it easy to fill the hours between planned events with experiences worth remembering. Explore Great Smoky Mountains National Park, gather for a world-class dinner show, or simply pull up a chair and let the conversation run as long as it needs to. With plenty of attractions and dining options, there’s something for veterans, spouses, kids, and grandkids alike.
