Today is the first day of what is socially and traditionally considered one of the least-liked months on calendar. August means the vacation season is largely over, school starts, people go back to work, hot weather lingers oppressively in the air, and all the celebrations and special events are over for a while.
Well, The Smoky Mountains have an answer for this stigma, and it includes packing August with more special events than it has probably ever seen. Today is already the start of the fabled Sales Tax-Free weekend throughout the entire state, but it's also start of Celebrate Freedom, in which the city of Pigeon Forge will be, well, celebrating freedom as well as our military history and veterans. Many businesses throughout the month of August will be offering discounts for current serving or veteran military officers.
There's so much going on this month, it would just be easier to list it out as follows:
8/2/14
Stringtime in the Smokies
8/2/14
Pigeon Forge Midnight 8K Road Race
8/11/14-8/15/14
Kidabra! The International Association of Family & Kid Show Performers Annual Convention
8/21/14-8/24/14
Smoky Mountain Songwriters Festival
8/23/14-8/24/14
Smoky Mountain Military and Relic Show
