Gatlinburg Winter Magic
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
Through January 31, sit back and enjoy the Gatlinburg Winter Magic<\/a> landscape ablaze with Christmas lights from the comfort of the heated and enclosed Gatlinburg Trolley. Take the Trolley Ride of Lights through downtown Parkway and the River Road area at 6:30, 7:30 or 8:30 p.m. This is an easy way to gaze at the thousands of illuminated displays featuring LED lighting in the colors of Christmas.<\/p>\nThe displays are custom designed to depict several themes including forest landscapes, magnificent evergreen trees, snowmen, a rocking horse and\u00a0fountains. Animal displays are a tradition and you’ll see many that call\u00a0the Great Smoky Mountains National Park home including deer, rabbits, foxes and squirrels. Admission is $5.00 for the trolley ride.<\/p>\n
On Friday, December 2, at 7:30 pm downtown Gatlinburg comes alive with the 41st Annual Fantasy of Lights Parade.\u00a0The mile-long parade features Santa himself, along with\u00a0\u00a0marching bands, bright lights, giant balloons, equestrian units, and festive floats. The event is free to watch but if you prefer VIP seating, tickets are $20 and include a Santa hat and a digital download as a souvenir of the parade.<\/p>\n
For a panoramic view of Gatlinburg sparkling with Christmas lights, consider a visit to Ober\u00a0Gatlinburg and a ride on the Scenic Chairlift, or the 2.1-mile ride from downtown to the ski area aboard the country’s largest Aerial Tramway. After you reach the top, extend your holiday fun with indoor ice skating, snow tubing, experiencing the Alpine Slide, or zipping along on the Ski Mountain Coaster. End your visit with a cup of hot chocolate, doing a little Christmas shopping at one of the shops\u00a0or selecting something\u00a0good to eat at one of the Ober\u00a0restaurants.<\/p>\n
