Winterfest in the Smokies is still going on strong

Even though Christmas and New Years are over and it reached into the upper 60s today in parts of Gatlinburg, Winterfest is still going on strong in the Smoky Mountains!

Hurry up and come to the Smokies if you want to see fabulous Winterfest holiday decorations and more than 5,000,000 holiday lights spread throughout Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville Tennessee.

A quick tour of the best places to still see the Winterfest lights is along the 66 and the Parkway from Sevierville to Pigeon Forge and on Teaster Lane in Pigeon Forge.

The absolute best display of Winterfest lights in Pigeon Forge is behind the Old Mill at Patriot Park. Here you will find a tribute to all of those who are serving or who have served in the armed forces. Park your car and walk around in the park as there are too many Winterfest Christmas light displays to be seen from the car!

In Gatlinburg the best Winterfest lights are along 441 all the way to the Spur and all along 321 to the end of the city limits by the artist community.

Of course along with the official Winterfest decorations there are many homes and businesses decked to the halls with the wonderment of holiday lights that can take your breath away. The artist community on Glades Road in Gatlinburg and the Christmas Place on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge put on the best private displays.

With so much to see and do in the Smokies, come here as late as February and you can enjoy the Winterfest celebration - we'll leave the lights on for you - all 5 million of them!

While it is great to see so many beautiful Christmas lights and displays all around the Smokies, make your visit to the Smoky Mountains even more exciting and beautiful by staying in a cabin that is all decorated for the season! Decorated cabins have Christmas lights, a least 1 Christmas tree and more!

So light a fire in the fireplace, hang your stockings and enjoy your Christmas season in the Smokies by calling (800)508-6070 and rent a cabin decorated for Christmas in the Smokies!

Two of Pigeon Forge Winterfest's treats are just around the corner.

First is Wilderness Wildlife Week, which starts on Jan. 10 for an eight-day run of special programs, hikes and excursions.

During Wilderness Wildlife Week is a one-night musical event called AppalachiaFest, which features great performers such as Tim O'Brien, Riley Baugus and Dirk Powell. It’s on Jan. 13 (Tuweday).

Both events are on the official calendar of the 75th anniversary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
