Now through August 13

6th Annual Gatlinburg Summer Music Festival Now through August 13

Gatlinburg celebrates its Smoky Mountain heritage during this free summer-long community event featuring period musical performances, storytellers and artisans.  Parkway sidewalks become stages for performing characters that arrive nightly at 6 p.m. and entertain until 11 p.m.  Evenings in downtown become an interactive, educational and entertaining experience for the entire family!

Walk outside your door of Crossroads Inn or Twin Islands and enter a world of Appalachian entertainment!  Tap your toes along with “The Back Porch Cloggers,” hear the stories of a pioneer teacher, enjoy the 1930s and 1940s sounds of “The Pea Pickin’ Hearts,” and be amazed by the harmonies of the “Gatlinburg Barbershop Boys.”  There’s also traditional mountain music by local “Booger Town Gap,” “Rattlesnake Hollow,” “Earl & Pearl,” and the “Whiskey Bent Valley Boys,  all of who play 1800s Appalachian music with folk-like lyrics that tell stories of the lives of early mountain families.  Later in the evening, bluegrass bands play all the favorite standards, including the famous “Rocky Top.”

We hope that you and your family will join us at Ogle’s Properties for this free, summertime event.  Be sure to take advantage of our Half Price Night!
