Gatlinburg TN October Fall Events

With October comes 2 great events to Gatlinburg TN this year – fall foliage and the Craftsmen’s Fair.
The warm, sunny days of September give way to cooler temperatures mixed with—hopefully--adequate rain to assist Mother Nature as she empties her paint buckets of color on the once lush green forests to form a brilliant display of autumn color.

Beginning with the mountain peaks early in October the cool temperatures remove the green chlorophyll to expose the brilliant colors underneath and gradually move down the mountainsides to include the lower elevations on into early November, Gatlinburg’s mountains are alive with color! Gatlinburg TN locals and storekeepers work together to match the beauty of the foliage and offer the expectant visitor elaborate storefront decorations and harvest displays. This time of year also brings on the million light displays for evening enjoyment.

In October, for 2 weeks, the award-winning Gatlinburg Tennessee Craftsmen’s Fair opens its doors at the Gatlinburg Convention Center. This great craft event attracts some of the country’s finest craftsmen. The event has become so appealing and well known that, for the 7th year in a row, it‘s recognized by the Southeast Tourism Society as a “Top 20” Event in the Southeastern US. More than 170 booths offer samples of art, crafts, and music. The artisans and crafts people are on-hand to demonstrate their skills, answer questions, and to offer their unique works for sale.

If you are planning a trip to the mountains, consider the fall season and its great selection of things and events to make your Smoky Mountain vacation in Gatlinburg, Tennessee a memorable one.
