Where I Live

Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Sevierville are big tourist destinations all year long. Their close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park make these ideal places to enjoy. There are a multitude of outlet shops to take advantage of, snow skiing in the winter, miniature golf, go carts, and some great food, including the Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant .

Usually in early November, before the frigid temperatures have really set in, these towns come alive with workers busily stringing Christmas lights; five million Christmas lights! Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Sevierville, from early November through February, are really a sight to behold. The lights are a huge part of Winterfest which is an annual festival that has run for nineteen years.  Winterfest is a joint effort of the three cities. Not only does Winterfest help to drive tourism but it also delights the local residents. The best way to take in Winterfest is on one of the city’s Trolley Tour of Lights that have special routes for maximum viewing pleasure. I would definitely recommend taking a drive or riding the trolley to enjoy the glowing fun of Winterfest!
