 Celebrate the Fourth Of July at the biggest and best fireworks viewing party in Gatlinburg! This year the city fireworks show will take place at the iconic Space Needle, directly across from and 100 feet below the mountaintop at the SkyLift Park.  Watching Fireworks on the Fourth is an American tradition celebrated by all of us, so get "above it all" on the SkyBridge and celebrate America.  

Health Care workers and First Responders, we thank you.

Help us thank and celebrate our heroic healthcare workers and first responders, May 11-13th we will be giving free admission to those in these fields and in honor we will be lighting our SkyBridge red and white to show our appreciation. Tickets can be purchased on-site at our ticket window only, not available online.

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day by viewing the city's fireworks display on Friday, March 19 from the best vantage point in town -- the SkyBridge and SkyDeck.

The SkyLift Park has the absolute best view of the Gatlinburg fireworks and ball drop, looking directly across at the Space Needle away from the crowds on the street and with great viewing locations across the entire SkyBridge, the SkyDeck, and the SkyCenter. 

Throughout February we'll be spreading the love by lighting up SkyDeck with red and white twinkling lights and creating a "Tunnel of Love" with over 18,000 lights on the SkyBridge. Open every night and included with every admission ticket.

The most popular holiday event in Gatlinburg returns, bigger and better than ever. This year, we're wrapping the SkyBridge and SkyDeck with over 40,000 lights plus new decorations and features. If you're visiting Gatlinburg anytime from November through January you absolutely must see Lights Over Gatlinburg.

Come see the best autumn views that Gatlinburg has to offer at the SkyLift Park and SkyBridge.  There will be plenty of photo opportunities on the SkyDeck area and SyTrail that will immerse you deep in Fall feels.  Grab a hot drink and enjoy the beautiful colors of the Smokies after conquering the SkyBridge!  

Every Friday and Sunday in September through November enjoy live music with local performers on the SkyDeck. Take in the scenery and colorful views of Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains while sipping on a beverage and letting a local artist serenade you. 

For the first time in Tennessee, witness professional slackliners walk a nylon line suspended in the air next to the SkyBridge over 100 feet above the valley floor. View from the SkyDeck, or anywhere on the SkyBridge!
