Events

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!  

Make this New Year's Eve one to remember. The SkyLift Park has the absolute best view of the Gatlinburg fireworks and ball drop, looking directly across at the Space Needle from above and without the crowds on the street. We're throwing an after-hours viewing party with the SkyCenter open for purchase of hot drinks, food, and beer, and great fireworks viewing locations across the entire SkyBridge, on every level of the SkyDeck, and from the upstairs bar in the SkyCenter. 

Throughout the month of February we'll be celebrating Valentine's Day by lighting up the SkyBridge with red and white twinkling lights, along with floral garland wrapped around the "Tunnel of Love" on the Gatlinburg SkyBridge.  Whether you are wanting to get the perfect Valentine's Day photo opportunity, looking to pop the question, or simply wanting to spend quality time with your sweetheart, the Tunnel of Love on the Gatlinburg SkyBridge will definitely create the most romantic memories of a lifetime.

Every Friday-Saturday from 6pm-9pm during fall   

Enjoy live music with local performers on the SkyDeck while enjoying the fall colors and taking in the views of Gatlinburg and the Smokies.  

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!

Hey kids! Bring your costume and get the best treat of all this Halloween--a free ticket to the SkyLift Park!  On Saturday, October 31st kids ages 12 and under who arrive at the SkyLift Park ticket window in their best costume will receive a free ticket for that day.  Candy and more treats will be available for trick-or-treaters at the top.  Also, a portion of each ticket sold this Halloween will go to aid the Sevier County Food Ministry in their efforts to provide food to those in need.  

Hey locals, we love you.
