Recommended Attractions on the Parkway – Smoky Mountain Opry

The Smoky Mountain Opry theater in Pigeon Forge is one of the biggest, most dynamic theater venues in the Smokies, and that really says something! Their theater is located in the same district as the Titanic Museum and Hard Rock Cafe and their opulent outside decorations are a sure sign you’ve found the Smoky Mountain Opry! And there’s even more incredible sights and sounds inside once the show begins!

The Festivals of Feast 2018!

What’s May got going on in the Smokies? How about more barbecue and bluegrass in the county than should be legal?

Dollywood’s Got The Rides!

People come to the Smokies for a lot of reasons throughout the year, and many of those reasons ultimately add up to Dollywood; the second-most popular attraction in the history of the Smoky Mountains with only the mountains themselves (and the National Park) topping the level of attraction Dollywood brings to our area. The reason for Dollywood’s success is simple: three decades of providing serious, high quality entertainment with shows, festivals, arts and crafts and, most definitely, the rides.

Valentine’s Day is Coming Up!

During the post-holiday Winterfest season, the Smoky Mountains become far more quiet and dignified due to the hibernation of nature that expands throughout the mountains, and thusly it becomes a wonderful atmosphere for romantic getaways. We all know that the big date of this month is Valentine’s Day (February 14th, for those of you guys who have a habit of forgetting and then getting in trouble) and we wanted to offer our list of cabins currently available over Valentine’s Day for those of you wanting to go for the romantic getaway option. Here are some romantic cabins we currently have open availability for (including 2-bedroom cabins).

How To Spend New Years in The Smokies

The end of the year only comes once a year and we like to punctuate the change and transition by ending the previous cycle and beginning a new one – with a BANG!Or rather a series of BANGs across a couple areas at least once the world’s most popular midnight hour clocks in. In Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, we celebrate New Years Eve and the first seconds of the new year with fireworks most colorful and explosive along with some other events in the area. In this article, we’ll highlight what we recommend you do with New Years Eve 2017!
