That Gatlinburg Fall spirit is flowing in the highlights of the Tennessee Smokies and the colors are changing to prove it! As we wait for them to hit their prime, we have a number of special events in the city that showcase the best in providing that spirit as we have for many Autumns prior to this one.
Take a look at them below!
* Fall Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair
Now – October 20, 2024
“The Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair hosts Artisans and Craftsmen from all over the nation. Shop indoors among two hundred booths of unique, one-of-a-kind handmade products that are beautifully displayed for your shopping pleasure. As these skilled craftspeople demonstrate their talents, you can witness works of art come to life. Each participant is subject to a rigorous jury process to ensure the uniqueness and quality of their respective products. Look for exceptional jewelry, pottery pieces, painted artwork, molded leather, copper art, local candy makers, photography, and many more unique items.
Come inside to cool off, warm up, or dodge rain showers. (Free for Kids 17 and under with a Paid Adult). Kids enjoy the demonstrations, talking with artists about what they make, and always learning something new! Enjoy hands-on arts and crafts the kids can take home: Visit The Kids Korner, operated by teen and adult volunteers from the Smoky Mountain Resort Ministry.
Admission is $10 and includes a Multi-Day Pass Upgrade for Free. Come see us in the Office on Aisle 500 with a Photo ID to Upgrade.

The Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair usually takes most of the day to see. If you didn’t quite get through it all, multi-day passes are available at the Craftsmen’s Fair office located at the end of aisle 500. Upgrade your ticket before you leave for FREE to come back again and again!
