Events

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 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. 

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!

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.
