To cut a long post short, this is the most active May and end of Spring we’ve had in years! Not only do we have more special events going on this end of Spring than we’ve had in quite a few Springs, but we have a huge amount of new attractions and additions opening in just the next few weeks throughout Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville.

Detailing all of them out would take up quite a bit of space and time, so this article will opt for a more minimalist listing with links for more information as needed. Get ready, there’s quite a bit!
