Smoky Mountain Tunes and Tales 2009
One of the highlight events of the summer for Gatlinburg TN is Smoky Mountain Tunes and Tales. This year’s Smoky Mountain Tunes and Tales will start on June 12 and end August 8. During those dates you can catch local performers riding into downtown Gatlinburg TN via horse drawn carriages. The actors will ride into town in the evenings dressed in full costume. Their dress will reflect the time period of the 1800’s, the century in which most of their stories date back to. The performers will start into town at 5pm and will leave around 10pm. If you’re walking along the strip during those times try to find a performer and listen to their stories.
There will be at least 8 performers along the strip telling stories, singing songs, performing magic tricks, dancing and much more. Some of their stories date back to the 1800’s and some are from when Gatlinburg started to become a tourist town and the Smoky Mountain National Park was dedicated. Those dancing, singing and doing magic tricks might invite you to perform with them! Watch as they entertain you and once they tell their story, sing their song or show you a trick walk a little farther down the Parkway and you’ll see another performer. Even Zeno the Gatlinburg bear will be strutting his stuff along the Parkway. The kids will love to see him and take pictures. Say hello if you see him!
From June 12-26 the performers will only come into town on Friday and Saturday nights. After June 26th the sidewalks will become their playing grounds at 5pm every evening until August 8th when there last performance is scheduled. If you’ll be in Gatlinburg this summer make sure you get to downtown Gatlinburg and walk along the strip and listen or watch as they perform for you. They’ll give you a good laugh. Thee best part about all this is that they perform for free! All you have to do is be walking down the strip while they’re there! If you just so happen to be walking along the strip during their “show” times then be sure you stop and watch or listen. They’ll be walking along the Parkway and stop at a crowd of people, they have no set performing areas.
