Whether you came to the city as a family or are in for a solo evening of fun, there is something for everyone to explore on this special night. Here’s what a New Year’s in Gatlinburg looks like.
New Year’s Eve Ball Drop and Fireworks
Dubbed the best New Year’s show in the vast American South, you already have a rough idea of what to expect. It is an iconic show that has held its ground from 1987 to date.
As the name suggests, it is a show of fireworks that runs deep in Tennessee’s heritage. Once it is midnight on the night of New Year’s Eve, these fireworks blast off creating quite a magnificent scene over Tennessee’s skies.
Walk Through the Woods
In a city with such a diverse ecosystem, fireworks cannot be the only thing that entices you on New Year’s Eve. There is more to your New Year’s adventures in the city beyond those blasts.
One valuable alternative is heading out for a walk in the woods. Ardent hikers find Gatlinburg to be exciting for obvious reasons. The views of nature out there on New Year make the walk worth it.
Water Park Adventures
Apart from exploring the woods, this city is also home to multiple water parks. When looking for family-friendly activities to usher in the New Year, these parks easily come to your rescue.
If your interest is in more adrenaline-jerking moments, the smoky mountains of the city have a lot of that to offer. White water rafting is one of those exciting sports that will make your day colorful.
Exotic Dining at Its Best
The next phase of your New Year’s experience in Tennessee revolves around sampling foods unique to the area. Exotic dining is a crucial part of the experience that you can’t afford to miss. For kids, this might be the most fun part of all.
Restaurants in the city have special menus for the night with separate ones for kids. Also, there is a wide range of drinks for you to sample. If you are out with friends, party the night away as you usher in a New Year’s in Gatlinburg and a better experience.

Everything is possible in the upcoming year and as this decade begins to come to an end, we’re all excited about what’s in store for us in 2019! If New Year’s is your favorite holiday as well, consider spending it here in the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains; we’ve provided this list of exciting events you can attend during your New Year’s in Gatlinburg!
New Year’s Eve Ball Drop and Fireworks Show, Historic Nature Trail
It used to be there were only 2 ways to see a Ball Drop on New Year’s in Gatlinburg; you either had to fight the crowds, cold, and lack of facilities in NYC or you could watch it on television. But a visit to Gatlinburg changes all that with our own New Year’s Eve Ball Drop; and we’ve added fireworks and a digital light display, as well as our own brand of Tennessee charm. Gatlinburg’s Space Needle is the spot where the magic starts; if you’re unsure where that might be, just look up and the lights will lead the way!
The Smoky Mountain Opry Theater, 2046 Parkway, Pigeon Forge
Located just down the road a piece, the Smoky Mountain Opry Theater offers a special showing of their Christmas special (because we really can’t ever get enough Christmas!) that includes a live broadcast of the New York Ball Drop at Midnight. Meeting the cast after the show ends is another reason a New Year’s Eve night at the theater is such a magical experience!
