MINIs on the Dragon is an annual gathering of MINI Coopers in Robbinsville, North Carolina. Started in 2003, the event takes place over the first weekend of May each year and attracts over 900 attendees and over 600 MINI Coopers. MINIs on the Dragon is in part named after the legendary section of US 129 known as “The Dragon” which runs from North Carolina to Tennessee and has 318 curves in 11 miles. The event is held at Fontana Village, a quaint vacation resort that was originally built to house the workers as they built the Fontana Dam during World War II.
