Smoky Mountain Winterfest

Smoky Mountain Winterfest begins November 22, 2019 and runs through February 15, 2020. This celebration of light gives our mountain communities in Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg new life during the cold winter months.

There will be amazing holiday lights on display, trolley tours, parades, and Christmas shows this winter in the Smokies. The lights are easy to find along Highway 66 and the Parkway. Many area landmarks get in on the fun and light up their properties too! The Titanic museum in Pigeon Forge magically changes into a winter wonderland becoming the epitome of grace and splendor! Everyone’s favorite historical spot, The Old Mill, gets in the spirit with a colorful covered bridge made with thousands of twinkling lights. The Space Needle, in Gatlinburg, will lift your spirits in more ways than one. Its festive lighting system can be seen from all over town and the summit of Mount LeConte!

There will be many special events for the entire family to enjoy during this time including the Gatlinburg Chili Cook Off and Smoky Mountain Tunes And Tales. Even Old Saint Nick himself can get a little inspiration with all of this going on. Who knows? He may make a special appearance at the Gatlinburg Fantasy of Lights Parade in Gatlinburg on December 6th to get a few ideas for the North Pole.

Make plans to bring your entire family to the mountains this winter and experience the wonder of Smoky Mountain Winterfest for yourself. You will be glad you did!
