Winter Heritage Festival
At the 2023 Winter Heritage Festival, you'll get to experience a variety of seasonal Smoky Mountain traditions. From 10AM until 4PM on January 28th, you can come learn about food, customs, and language! This year's festival will focus on Cherokee culture. Interpretive guides, including a genealogist and a linguist, will be on-site alongside of other living history demonstrators, storytellers, and musicians to help you learn.
Instead of paying regular admission costs, you can gain entry to this event for the small price of $20 per vehicle! Load up the car with friends and family!
