The Great Smoky Mountains are known for stunning mountain views, southern hospitality and patriotic spirit. Each year on Independence Day, Pigeon Forge and the Smokies come alive with celebrations that last the entire holiday week.
24th Annual Patriot Festival
The July 4th Pigeon Forge Patriot Festival is held every year for families at Patriot Park. This free event begins around noon and usually lasts until around 10:00pm.
Games and activities for kids will be open during the early hours of the festival, followed by live musical entertainment in the afternoon. This year, award-winning country music group Lonestar will be headlining.

They’re not the only performers included in this legendary lineup. The Tim Kellar Band, the Pigeon Forge Community Chorus, Jimmy Buffett tribute band Sons of Sailors and bluegrass group Adkins & Loudermilk will also perform.
There will also be food vendors with hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream and more. A portion of the vendor sales go to local area charities. After a day of family-fun and extraordinary musical talent, the celebration will top off with a fireworks display unlike anywhere else.
