Celebrate the 4th of July in Pigeon Forge at Patriot Festival!
Headlined by Country Music Stars Carly Pearce & Craig Morgan!
In honor of the 250th Anniversary of America, Pigeon Forge is expanding our annual Patriot Festival into a free two-night celebration. This family-friendly 4th of July event features live country music, food vendors, children’s activities, and one of the area’s most spectacular fireworks shows.
Country music hitmaker and Army Reserve soldier Craig Morgan takes the stage on Friday, July 3, at 8 p.m., while Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Carly Pearce performs on Saturday, July 4, at 8 p.m.
Additional performers for both evenings will be announced in the coming weeks!
Both artists have deep ties to Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains. Tennessee native Craig Morgan performed at the award-winning Country Tonite theater before launching his successful country music career. Carly Pearce also appeared at Country Tonite and got her start performing at Dollywood’s Country Crossroads show at just 16 years old.
