During that three-and-a-half-month period, the communities of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville all host their own respective slate of Winterfest events, from opening ceremonies to city-hosted events to special promotional activities associated with local attractions and other businesses.

Likewise, it's a time for all of us to emerge from our winter dens and begin to enjoy the great outdoors once again.
