Christmas is coming and Gatlinburg proves it tonight with its 38th Annual Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade. Over 100 entries including marching bands from neighboring states will take part in the extravaganza, watched by around 80,000 people packed up and down Parkway. (more…)

As temperatures drop and the snow starts heading towards Gatlinburg, let’s finally admit that it’s winter, that Thanksgiving is just days away, and that Christmas is in the air.
This Friday evening, December 7, don’t miss the 37th annual, 2012 Gatlinburg Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade. The parade lineup features over 100 entries, marching bands from home and neighboring states, and some great, giant helium balloons. 
It’s winter lights kickoff week in the region and that means a whole lot of lights sparkling – millions of them in fact, and for the next four months of celebration. As the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come for the lights can attest, ’tis the season once again to be dazzled!
