Easter in the Smoky Mountains means lively egg hunts, serene worship services, and traditional Appalachian crafts. Book a cabin and head to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge this Easter. Which of these events will your family try?
1. Spring Arts and Crafts Show
Prepare for Easter with decor and gifts handcrafted by local artisans. The Gatlinburg Convention Center hosts this show Mar. 10-15, featuring crafts from the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community. Spring- and Easter-themed treasures, in glass, wood, fabric, jewelry, and more, await you.
2. Wear Farm City Park Easter Egg Hunt
Join the Easter Bunny on the day before Easter. This free event features inflatables, a raffle, and photos with the Bunny. The egg hunt is epic! Taking place across four baseball fields, the 11 a.m. hunt has staggered starting times, to give the youngest hunters a head start. Don’t worry–experienced hunters will still find plenty of eggs and treats!
3. Easter Festival at Springtime Exotic Petting Farm
Pet adorable critters and hunt for Easter eggs all day long! This festival is open throughout March and on Easter weekend. Wander the maze, take a hay ride, play games, and zip down the 200-foot-long slide. Feed rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets by hand, and visit llamas, kangaroos, zebras and dozens of other fascinating animals.
4. Easter Service at Gatlinburg SkyPark
Celebrate at a sunrise service, then visit the breathtaking SkyPark at no cost. A chairlift whisks you up the mountain in time to watch the sun come up. Stick around to enjoy SkyPark’s trails, glass-bottomed bridge, and viewing deck. Buy a delicious breakfast to savor while you’re here.
5. Sunrise Worship at Ober Mountain
Start the morning early, aboard Ober’s Aerial Tram, gliding through the air to this year-round amusement park. Take part in the service of music and prayer, then stay for a day of fun, including a mountain coaster, ziplines, a climbing wall, ice skating and ice bumper cars, and a kids’ carousel.
