Gatlinburg Tennessee During
August
August begins, school starts back and
the summer slowly comes to an end. The beginning of
August
means an ending to many of the summertime activities
that many visitors enjoyed but that doesn’t mean you
can’t come to the area to have a good time. In
fact, if you are interested in your pick of
Gatlinburg
cabin rentals, then August is the time for you. You
don’t need special activities in the Smokies to have a
good time with the people around you. Celebrate the
beginning of a new school year and the end of a
wonderful summer with many activities in Gatlinburg. If you’re the person that isn’t looking
forward to school starting back then Gatlinburg has
plenty of things for you to enjoy so you can try to
forget those “school” blues.
August does mean the continuation of the Smoky Mountain
Tunes and Tales. This downtown Gatlinburg event allows
you to get up close and personal with many performers
that love to entertain visitors with their special
talents. Entertainers will gather in the street to play
music for onlookers, and cloggers can also be found in
the street stunning visitors with their fancy footwork.
The mini-performances can be experienced every evening
until August 31st. These performers represent various
times in the Smokies starting in the 1800’s and ending
with today’s times. Every afternoon at 6 pm a horse
drawn wagon will drop off these musical performers,
storytellers, dancers and artisans to their specified
areas to entertain and amuse you and your family. There
are fourteen nightly acts that take turns performing
for fifteen minutes so you have time to catch every act.

activities, delicious restaurants and small eateries,
and shopping in downtown. All the activities are close
together so you can choose to park your car, walk and

souvenir shops, antiques shops to art galleries with
paintings to buy, and several vintage stores. There is a
small mall located right on the strip in downtown
Gatlinburg so you can even spend some time inside

vacation to Gatlinburg with you. There are stores in
every little small space in downtown so look closely or you
might just miss something.
