Smoky Mountain Winterfest runs Nov. 6, 2006 – Feb. 28, 2007

During the winter months, Sevierville and the Great Smoky Mountains area sparkle with millions of twinkling lights during Smoky Mountain Winterfest (Nov. 6 – Feb. 28). Now in its 17th year, Smoky Mountain Winterfest has become a holiday tradition for many visitors who return year after year to enjoy the lights, shopping, shows and attractions.
Viewing Smoky Mountain Winterfest lights with friends and family is a great way to get in the holiday spirit. New light displays for 2006 include a black bear display at the Sevierville Visitor Center, 75 new twinkling snowflakes and 250 lighted snowflake scrolls. For added fun while viewing the lights, visitors are encouraged to make a quick stop on their way into town at the Sevierville Visitor Center on Hwy 66 (1.5 miles from I-40 Exit 407). There they can pick up a free pair of Winterfest in 3D glasses while supplies last. The glasses shift each point of light into a snowflake, adding even more interest to the intricate light displays.
Winterfest lights are a huge draw, but once visitors arrive in Sevierville they also find incredible shopping, shows and attractions. Sevierville features nearly 150 name brand outlet stores where shoppers can find everything from fine China and clothing to tools and furniture. Specialty retail shops featuring items like fine art, antiques and collectibles and outdoor items are also popular. Visitors can even take a piece of Winterfest home by visiting stores like Country Christmas and Christmas Done Bright where Winterfest style lighting displays are for sale and custom displays are built to order.
The fun continues with holiday shows and year-round attractions. Two shows featured at Governor’s Palace, James Rogers’ Smoky Mountain Christmas and Fixin’ 2 Rain, offer Broadway style entertainment. The Great China Circus Theater, which features both their regular acrobatic show and the all-new Mistle Toe Roasters (a clean music and comedy group), round out Sevierville’s holiday entertainment.
