Fans of Southern gospel music who happen to be visiting town next week are in for a treat. The 8th Annual Southern Gospel Music FanFair event gets under way, running April 30 through May 5 at the Smoky Mountain Convention Center in Pigeon Forge.
Noted as one of the largest live gatherings of its kind, this annual concert event features performances by an impressive roster of artists, including quartets, soloists, comedians and more. Thousands of Southern gospel fans are expected to gather at the convention center for six days of music, fellowship and family fun.
