Kickoff to Summer at Mountain Mile

Mountain Mile is kicking off summer the right way.

Head to Mountain Mile on Saturday, May 30th for the First Annual Kickoff to Summer — a free, all-day event on the plaza in the heart of Pigeon Forge. From 10AM to 10PM, there will be live entertainment, kids activities, local shopping, and the main event: our First Annual Major League Eating Food Competition.

🍗 FIRST ANNUAL MLE FOOD COMPETITION
Presented by Junction 35 Spirits, this is a fully sanctioned Major League Eating competition featuring 10 to 12 nationally ranked professional competitive eaters. The food on the table is Junction 35’s World Famous Blackberry Moonshine Smoked Wings, and these athletes are going to put them away fast.

Major League Eating is the world’s premier competitive eating organization, and Junction 35 is bringing that experience right here to Mountain Mile for the very first time. Whether you’ve watched Nathan’s Famous on TV every Fourth of July or you’re coming in fresh, this is a bucket-list moment for Pigeon Forge. Come early, find your spot on the plaza, and get loud.

🧒 KIDS FUNZONE
The Kids Funzone is a full setup built for a day of play. Kids can tackle inflatable obstacle courses, compete in sports inflatables, and take on lawn games throughout the day. There will also have a balloon artist and face painter on site, so bring the family and plan to stay a while.

🎶 ENTERTAINMENT ALL DAY
Live entertainment on the plaza from open to close.

🛍️ SHOP LOCAL
Mountain Mile’s shops are open all day. Browse unique finds, local goods, and everything in between across the property.

Admission is free. All are welcome.
