Gatlinburg Fine Arts Festival

This year marks the 5th anniversary of the Gatlinburg Fine Arts Festival. This is a free admission family event that highlights art and music of artists from all around. Many vendors will have tents set up along River Road at Ripley’s Aquarium. There will be plenty of food from local vendors available as you walk through all the display tents as well. You’ll find many things to buy as souvenirs or gifts while at the Fine Arts Festival.

There will be over 50 artists displaying, making and selling their crafts at the fair. You can watch and even custom order souvenirs. Take a look at all the goods the vendors are offering and listen to the music that will be performed by a live band. Enjoy some of the bluegrass, jazz, Celtic, rhythm and blues songs that will be played by Kevin McGuire and DownStream. There will also be food stands serving hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, corn dogs, etc. throughout the festival. Many of the food vendors are from local restaurants.

The Gatlinburg Fine Arts Festival is scheduled to be held on May 16th and 17th this year. There will also be $5,000 in prizes up for grab. If you’ll be in Gatlinburg TN during those dates make your way down to River Road and check out the Festival. Proceeds will help the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts and Sevier County Art Council.
