Gatlinburg is the charming, walkable gateway to the Smokies that your group will fall in love with. This summer, don’t miss the famous midnight 4th of July Parade and fireworks, browse unique local shops and restaurants along the main strip, visit Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, or ride the SkyLift Park for jaw-dropping mountain views. It’s the perfect place to wander, eat well, and soak it all in together.
Pigeon Forge turns up the fun all summer long! Celebrate America’s 250th birthday at the 4th of July Patriot Festival, catch Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration with nightly drone shows, browse classic car shows, enjoy live music and dinner theaters, and explore The Island’s entertainment district. There’s something for every age in your group — morning, noon, and night.
