What's Showing In Pigeon Forge In 2024 - Part Three
Yep, there are so many music theaters and shows in the Great Smoky Mountains that it has taken us three weeks to write about them all. We started two weeks ago at the north end of Pigeon Forge and have been working our way south along the Parkway. This week, we're going to wrap up our music theater series with the home stretch of venues and great shows that visitors to the Smokies can enjoy this summer.
What's Showing In Pigeon Forge In 2024 – Part Two
If you read last week's blog, you know that we devoted an entire post to an overview of all the music theater shows that are up and running in 2024. We started at the north end of the Parkway in Pigeon Forge and gradually worked our way south as we introduced you to many of the venues that add a spark to the entertainment scene in the Smokies. So far, we've already discovered a little bit of everything, from all genres of music and comedy to magic and dinner shows.
What's Showing In Pigeon Forge In 2024 – Part One
Now that we're into the month of May, pretty much every Pigeon Forge music theater that temporarily went dark for the winter is now up and running again. For Smoky Mountains visitors, these showplaces add a rich dimension to the city's many attractions. There's something about live entertainment that captivates audiences of all ages, and the theaters of Pigeon Forge offer a wide array of options for folks of all entertainment preferences.
5 Must-Visit Holiday Stops In The Smokies
This year, you could celebrate the Christmas holiday in the same old places and in the same old ways if you choose. You could go to those same boring parties and play Dirty Santa for the 100th time. Or perhaps you could watch A Christmas Story on TBS for the billionth time.
It's Beginning To Look (And Sound) A Lot Like Christmas
Don't worry; we firmly believe in giving Thanksgiving its full due before we turn our attention toward the Christmas holiday. Once all the turkey leftovers are polished off and the Black Friday deals have been made, then all things Christmas will be fair game. But if you happen to be visiting the Smokies some time in the next few weeks, you may notice that one category of Smoky Mountain attractions has chosen to ignore that protocol.
Music Theater Preview - Part 2
In our last post, we provided short introductions to six Pigeon Forge music theaters as a preview of what to expect from the Smoky Mountain entertainment scene this year. This week, we pick up where we left off, with thumbnail descriptions of even more venues where music, comedy and more are alive and well and waiting to be part of your vacation plans. As we mentioned last week, unless otherwise indicated, all of the shows are located in Pigeon Forge, either on or just off the Parkway.
Music Theater Preview - Part 1
Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, summer vacation time is officially here. In the Smokies, things are really starting to get ramped up, and we expect to see a whole lot more people coming to town compared to last summer.
Theaters Raise Curtains On Holiday Shows
Smoky Mountain Winterfest doesn't officially kick off for a few more weeks, but if you're eager to start celebrating winter and the Christmas holiday period a little early, your best bet might be to catch a seasonal show at one or more of our area music theaters. It's already that time of year when most of the local venues switch over from their regular-season shows to ones that are more in keeping with the end-of-year holidays. From music to costuming to appearances by Santa Claus himself, these special productions are a fun and entertaining way to kick off Christmas in the Great Smoky Mountains. This week, Smoky Mountain Ziplines is sharing overviews of several of the holiday shows already under way.
Good Food And Great Competition
There's been a trend taking place in the Great Smoky Mountains over the past 10 years or so. We've been seeing more and more dinner attractions come to Pigeon Forge, entertaining productions that combine multicourse meals with spectacular competition-based shows. The one that's been around the longest, the show originally known as Dixie Stampede, got it all started back in the '80s, and now several more have joined the ranks, giving area visitors more choices than ever when it comes to entertainment.
The Smokies Are More Magical Than Ever
In case you haven't noticed lately, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have become some of the most magical cities in the Smokies. We don't mean that figuratively either. These days, there are no fewer than four different live magic shows taking place at different theater venues around the area. We guess you can chalk that up to the fact that magic is universally appealing and entertaining. Mankind has enjoyed not believing his own eyes for centuries, so it should come as no surprise that when traveling, 21st-century vacationers enjoy taking a couple of hours to lose themselves in a world of impossibilities.
Smoky Mountain Theaters Spread Christmas Cheer
During Smoky Mountain Winterfest, the communities of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville go all out to celebrate Christmas and the entire holiday period. That includes millions of colorful lights and dozens of seasonally themed events. Our local music theaters always get in on the act too, offering up special holiday versions of their usual stage productions. Whether it's music, magic or games of competition in the spotlight, if you take in a show between now and the end of the year, there's a good chance you'll wind up receiving a little extra Christmas cheer.
