For a lot of folks, the best time of the year to visit the Great Smoky Mountains is just around the corner. Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival gets kicked off in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville on September 15 and runs through the end of October. It's a time to celebrate cooler weather fall colors with seasonal decorations, mountain crafts and lots of fun special events. If you're staying in one of our cabins in Pigeon Forge, TN in the next six weeks, here are a few highlights of what's going on through the rest of September in the surrounding area.
