Special Events for late April-early May


Three great special events are coming up before mid-May, so get your calendars and itineraries ready!

On April 26th, the 61st Annual Wildflower Pilgrimage returns in Gatlinburg. The Pilgrimage is over 150 programs, hikes, lectures, demonstrations, exhibits and more showing the lifeblood of the mountains for all to enjoy, including the animal kingdoms - birds, reptiles, amphibians, you name it! It's a nature lover's dream come true and many come back just to do the stuff they couldn't do the year before.

On April 28th, Ribsfest returns in Gatlinburg! Spring's answer to the Winterfest Chili Cook-off sees the entire downtown road through the city of Gatlinburg, starting from Ripley's Aquarium to Ripley's Believe it or Not museum, just to hold all the vendors, entertainment and meat that are set to arrive. Throughout the night will be music performances and judging contests for Hot wing eating contests.



And on May 6th, Dolly is coming back to the Pigeon Forge for the annual Dolly Parade. By 6:00 P.M. the sidewalks will be filled with cheering fans and the streets thronged with colorful floats lead by our county sweetheart, Miss Parton herself!



Stay tuned with us to see what will be coming further up in May!
