prev | next SEVIERVILLE, TN Autumn leaves will soon be changing and ample summer rain showers promise brilliant fall colors in Sevierville, Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains this year. Those visiting will find a variety of autumnal themed events taking place during Smoky Mountain Harvest Fest (through October 31). Many Harvest Festival events celebrate the season as well as popular and mountain culture against a backdrop of fall color. Events like Robert Tino’s Smoky Mountain Homecoming (Oct. 2-3) focus on the craftsman heritage of these mountains and nearby Dollywood is also a must-see with thrill rides, mountain music, craftsmen and harvest foods like pumpkin bread and hot apple cider. For those set on spending a day (or more) leaf looking, there are ample ways to enjoy the color. Take a scenic drive on Sevierville’s back roads like Hwy 411 North and enjoy quaint attractions like Forbidden Caverns and great dining spots like Clint’s BBQ & Country Cooking along the way. Or cruise through Great Smoky Mountains National Park for amazing views and spectacular mountain hiking. Another great way to see the leaves is by taking to the sky with Scenic Helicopter Tours. Fly over the mountains, the lake and the foothills to see spectacular views of fall foliage from above. And don’t forget the shopping!
