Why do people visit Gatlinburg in the fall, you may ask? The yearly drama of the fall colors means something different to everyone. To couples it means romance. To kids, it means playing in the leaves. To friends, it means a place for making memories. But to everyone, it means something special that only happens once each year. This mini-guide will help you discover some of the special activities you can enjoy this time of year.

Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival

Fall is a joyful season in Gatlinburg. Everywhere you look color dazzles your eyes and people have a buoyant spring in their steps. The merry atmosphere is reflected in all the shops that decorate for the season. Not only can you watch the artists weave, create pottery, make candles, demonstrate quilting skills, and much more, the artists offer their wares for sale, too. You'll discover that many of the artisans learned their crafts from relatives who passed the skills down through the generations.

Gatlinburg is a Shopper's Paradise

One of the traditions that many visitors to Gatlinburg enjoy is shopping for mementos of their trip. Some people have favorite items they like to collect and return to Gatlinburg every year to add new pieces of pottery, craft items, or other unique wares to their collections. Others visit some of the specialty shops and get all their Christmas shopping done here in Gatlinburg. Get your comfortable shoes on and plan a full day (or two, or three) shopping in the Smokies!
