Are you needing a break before the holiday rush hits? Why not sneak off to Pigeon Forge and enjoy a Smoky Mountain Thanksgiving? The fall scenery along with great Southern food and fun attractions will leave you feeling thankful, grateful and blessed. Here are some activities to make your Thanksgiving a great one.

 

Stay in a Cozy Cabin

Cozy Cabin

Book yourself a cabin for your stay and enjoy some cozy, quiet time with your family. You can cook up your Thanksgiving meal and enjoy gobbling it up together. Afterwards, play some board games or cozy up next to the fireplace and watch a movie. Enjoy your evenings in the hot tub listening to the serene sounds of nature.

 

Feast at a Pigeon Forge Restaurant

Several restaurants will be open on Thanksgiving Day if you prefer no prepping, no cooking, and no dish washing! Alamo Steakhouse, Bennett’s Pit Bar-B-Que, Big Daddy’s Pizzeria, Hard Rock Cafe, and J.T. Hannah’s Kitchen will be open, and are great places for a non-traditional feast. Mama’s Farmhouse will serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal (family style, of course). Margaritaville, Old Mill Restaurant, and Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen are cooking up some specialty menus and it is sure to be delicious.

 

Pigeon Forge Winterfest

The annual Winterfest light displays are a great way to see the city lit up. Winterfest lights will be on November 13th through February 15th. Pick up a map at the Trolley office and head out on the driving tour to see all of the light displays. It gets brighter each year and makes a great holiday tradition for your family.
