August is a quieter month for Pigeon Forge after an active vacation season in June and the loud booms of July's independence day and the hot, swimming pool and river weather plus traffic, but there's still plenty to do!
Dollywood's Kidsfest ends in August, but what that means is that the traffic in the park dies out to a considerable degree. There is still plenty for the kids to see (two sections of the park are reserved for them specifically!) and now they don't have to wait 30 minutes in line for a ride! Dollywood is always entertaining, so don't miss a chance to go when the getting's good!
If you're visiting from August 6th to the 8th, Tennessee is holding its annual tax-free holiday weekend. With our many shopping complexes here and outlets offering discounted prices already, if you were looking to get some stuff from Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, this is a good time to get basically 10% off everything in the state.
From the 11th to the 14th, KIDABRA, the association of Family and Kidshow Performers, will be hosted at the Music Road Hotel and Convention Center with a Grand Finale Public Show at the close of the day, 8/14 - 8:00 PM. Other performances will be on the same weekend at The Old Mill Square for Stringtime in the Smokies - free to the public, you can visit www.oldmillsquare.com.
On the 20th, Chubby Checker performs at the Country Tonite Theater and finally on the weekend of the 23rd, the 14th Annual World Premiere Gospel Concert is held at the Grand Resort Hotel Convention Center.
There's still plenty to do in Pigeon Forge for the last leg of the summer! And you can do it all just 10-15 minutes from Cove Mountain in Wears Valley! Pigeon Forge is a super simple and convenient (as well as scenic!) drive from Wears Valley and getting there and back is a snap. You can enjoy everything all day and be home to soak tired feet and bodies and relax in the mountains the way you deserve to.
