Chevrolet and GMC trucks have an incredible following; events are popping up all over the country to celebrate these popular trucks. One of the newest events on the schedule is the GM Truck Fair, an annual event held in Greeneville, Tennessee. Hosted by Bryan Harrison and crew, this event offers a laid-back atmosphere and plenty of room for expansion as Harrison continues to pound the pavement to pull new enthusiasts into the show.
The event consists of two days of activities, with a Friday VIP reception at the General Morgan Inn (a historic hotel in downtown Greeneville) and the host hotel for the event. Then, the show takes place on Saturday at the Greene County Fairgrounds with a great display of trucks, vendors, and a swap meet. As the event winds down, the award winners are chosen and then receive a police escort to downtown Greeneville for an awesome evening under the lights with live music, great food, and plenty of good old-fashioned fellowship among truck enthusiasts. Awards consist of the Classic Truck Performance Top 20, the Auto Metal Direct Top 3, Harrison’s Rod and Custom Top 3, and a few other specialty awards.
The GM Truck Fair is in its third year and continues to offer a great mixture of trucks and SUVs, including slick show trucks, old-school combinations, plenty of patina, and even a few mini-trucks to mix things up. With sponsors like Auto Metal Direct, United by Trucks, and Discover Greeneville, this show has the support it needs to keep on truckin’ for years to come. The best part is that the proceeds from the event go to the Harrison’s Rod and Custom Scholarship Fund, helping young men and women get an education in the automotive field. Mark your calendars for August 14 and 15, 2026 and join the fun. For more information visit gmtruckfair.com.
