Gatlinburg Waves Goodbye to 2013 With a Bang

Before you begin your lists of resolution and revelations, the city of Gatlinburg is inviting Smoky Mountain fans to celebrate the ending of another exciting year with their 26th annual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop and Fireworks Show.

Located in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg at the intersection of Parkway and Historic Nature Trail, this exciting New Year’s Eve event in Gatlinburg  is definitely one you and your family will not want to miss! Musical entertainment will be in attendance, filling the air with uplifting tunes from the balcony of Gatlinburg Convention Center.
