It is fall in the Smokies again and that means it is time for the Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival! This festival is a 12 week long celebration of the Autumn season in the Smokies! The colors are bright, the streets are filled, and there are tons of events happening all over Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to bring in the changing of the seasons. Here is everything you need to know about the Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival:
When is the Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival?
The Harvest festival typically starts in late September and goes through mid November. This is the time of year where that lush green cascading blanket of trees becomes a brilliant canvas of brilliant oranges and reds that only Autumn could paint. When the leaves are at their peak of changing, the Smokies provide one of the most breathtaking views in the world.
What Events are at the Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival?
Bringing Pigeon Forge, Townsend, Gatlinburg and Sevierville together for a mountain jamboree, the Harvest Festival continues the country tradition of providing great entertainment and wonderful crafts to the friendly folks gathering together to celebrate harvest and Smoky Mountain spirit. Enjoy the Fall Festival at Ober Mountain , filled with live entertainment and nods to the German culture. Take your family to Anakeesta’s Legend of Hallow Mountain, where you can experience all the spooks of Halloween even into November. If you’re hungry, don’t miss the Gatlinburg Chili Cookoff!
