Fall Is Festive In Pigeon Forge, Tennessee


Fall is coming, and the beauty and fun of the season awaits to be enjoyed in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The region of the Smokies is stunning in the fall season when it’s perfect weather to visit the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We also love to take scenic drives along the mountains enjoying the colorful blanket of fall foliage.

Speaking of color, another treat for the season are the endless festivals to experience like the Chalkfest. This event in early October presents professional and aspiring chalk artists, who gather at The Island in Pigeon Forge. Come out and view the many marvelous masterpieces made entirely with chalk.

Afterwards, stroll around The Island to find delicious food, shopping, entertainment as well as rides for kids. Halloween is especially fun when they host their annual Trick or Treat event. Families can experience trick or treating, along with all-day half-priced unlimited rides for those dressed in costume and more festivities.
