March 11 started Springfest in Gatlinburg! During this time, you see the town transform into the wonderful spring season. Spring flowers will be planted throughout the town. Starting today through April 3rd is the annual Easter Arts & Crafts show at the Gatlinburg convention center. There you can see some of the great work by some of our local artists. April 4th is Easter! Ober Gatlinburg will be hosting their 12th annual Easter Sunrise service. Tram rides up to mountain will start at 6:00 am. If you are visiting the area during this time, several local churches will also have sunrise services. April 22 will be Gatlinburg's Ribfest and Wings! This is a lot of fun, but you might want to get there early and allow time for finding and place to park. These are just a few of the great things that will be going on during the next few months.
