This year’s Winterfest kickoff will occur on November 6th. It will be bigger and better than ever with the addition of the Salute to Veterans Parade, in honor of the men and women who have served our nation through their military service.

The parade begins at 4:30 p.m. at the south end of town and will proceed north on the Parkway to Patriot Park, where you’ll see a display of vintage and current-day military vehicles. Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner, Many-Bears Grinder, will be a special guest for the occasion and deliver a keynote address.

Come out and enjoy live entertainment from the Pigeon Forge Community Chorus and a special performance by James Rogers. Witness the ceremonial lighting of the Pigeon Forge Winterfest displays and more than five million lights.
