Sweet Fanny Adam's Theater

It’s officially the season of hot apple cider, warm blankets, and pumpkin patches. It’s also the season for fall festivals, and the Smoky Mountain area is full of them!

Here are three festivals you can enjoy while on your Smoky Mountain vacation.

1. Dollywood Harvest Festival

If you love Dollywood and the fall season then you won’t want to miss this event! From early September to late October this annual celebration marks the best weather and some beautiful fall foliage in the Smokies. Stay late into the evening to see beautifully carved pumpkins, lit up and on display. During the day you’ll enjoy fall themed food, and colorful leaves all throughout the park.

2. Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair

In early to mid October the Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair heads into full swing. Artisans from across the country gather to peddle their wares while musicians serenade the crowds. You’ll see everything from woodworking and pottery to handcrafted jewelry and leatherworkings. If you have an appreciation for handmade goods then this event is for you.

3. Wears Valley Fall Festival

The Wears Valley Fall Festival takes place in mid October and is a favorite event for locals. Come experience the hundreds of vendors, melodic live music, and incredible Southern cuisine. If you’re interested in a true rustic, Appalachian festival with plenty to do and see for the whole family, then this one is for you.

No matter the festival you choose you’ll need a place to stay. Choose from one of our many options at Bear Camp Cabin Rentals today!

An evening at Sweet Fanny Adams Theater is an experience you will never forget. The unique style of shows presented in this 1890s style theater are a combination of Old English music hall, American vaudeville, Monty Python, and Broadway musical comedy. The original shows are quick-witted sensations filled with the broadest of humor and the silliest of slapstick all guaranteed to be unlike anything you’ve seen before. Since opening in Gatlinburg in 1977, Sweet Fanny Adams Theater has been recognized as one of the most innovative and unusual professional theaters in the country and was named an historical treasure by the city of Gatlinburg.

Two completely different shows are presented each season and are alternated nightly. Our multi-talented performers are all well-seasoned professionals of stage, screen, TV, and night clubs. Each show they take turns adding their uniqueness to the inevitable comic mayhem for which Sweet Fanny Adams Theater is renowned.
The creative force behind the theatrical magic at Sweet Fanny Adams is the wonderfully off-beat talents of Pat and Don MacPherson. They have written, produced, and directed over 32 original musical comedies. Their shows have played in over forty professional theaters throughout the country including New York, Los Angeles, Atlantic City and an over two year run of their musical Tom Jones at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the show will be “A Knight’s Tale and Other Acts of Superficial Foolishness” , an original musical fairy tale adventure of brave knights and maidens, misguided royalty, and a dueling scene never to be equaled, nor dared, on any stage. And, as promised the Finale chosen Number One by you, our faithful audience friends . . . The Pirate Song -”I Want To Sing and Dance”.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays the show will be “That’s Ridiculous! 30 Years of Hilarious Musical Comedy . . . All In One Night”, a fun-filled tribute to old time music hall entertainment with the best full-of-nonsense comedy routines, songs, and dances that have graced the Sweet Fanny Adams Theater stage for the past 30 Seasons plus . . . the ever popular Classical Paper Dance.
