Pigeon Forge Winterfest Starts Nov. 9th, 2010

Join us in Patriot Park, for the 21st Annual Winterfest Kickoff with Dollywood’s Appalachian Christmas!

Pigeon Forge’s Winterfest Kickoff is just the beginning of three and a half months of holiday music, lights and special events.

Beginning at 4 p.m., several performing groups from Pigeon Forge Middle School and High School will open the festivities. Pigeon Forge Community Chorus and Dollywood’s Appalachian Christmas will follow, while Jimbo Whaley and Greenbrier will wrap up the evening’s entertainment.

Comments from civic leaders will precede the ceremonial flipping of the switch to turn on the city’s five million Winterfest lights at around 7 p.m. Free Trolley Tour of Lights, which showcase Winterfest light displays throughout the community, will be offered after the lighting ceremony.

Also the Pigeon Forge Community Chorus’ concert of holiday music with a mountain flavor from Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas. Plus the best in bluegrass music from Jimbo Whaley & Greenbrier!

We’ll have games for the kids, and food vendors to satisfy every hungry appetite. But, as always, we’ll save the best for last.

Since the light displays are located throughout town, the best way to see them all is on board the Winterfest Trolley Tour of Lights. Don’t miss the great opportunity to take a free tour, only available on the night of Kickoff!
