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!

We realize there is a lot of concern right now about the Coronavirus and how it might impact your vacation plans. Our cabins are a wonderful place to stay safe away from it all while enjoying the luxuries of your home away from home.

We are working closely with our local Department of Public Health agencies and following CDC guidelines to ensure the safety of our guests and employees. We want you to feel confident in visiting our properties and we are taking the following measures:

Remote Check-In: You do not need to come to our office on the day of Check-in but can instead go directly to your cabin. You will receive the door code for your stay the day of arrival via e-mail after 3:00 PM.
Extra sanitization: While the cleanliness of our units is always a top priority for us, we are taking extra measures to ensure the safety of our guests and housekeepers. Our housekeepers are cleaning all surfaces such as doorknobs, countertops, and other items throughout our cabins between each stay with EPA-approved disinfectant and following the CDC guidelines found at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/cleaning-disinfection.html

Our private cabins are a great place to relax and enjoy our in-cabin entertainment as well as social distancing in the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. All our hot tubs and pools are treated and safe to enjoy (see https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/water.html). And we have toilet paper!
