Discover the Magic: Events & Festivals at the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center
Each year the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center is host to festivals, concerts and special events. Our ten acres are dotted with historic structures and green spaces offering a unique setting for private or public outdoor events including the Summer Concert Series on Friday evenings, the Blue Ribbon Country Fair, the Holiday Handcrafter’s Festival, Christmas in the Village and the Storytelling Festival.
The 350-seat outdoor covered amphitheater is home to the annual Sunset Music Series, the Heritage Center’s popular Friday night concert series and our Legend Series which features national touring groups. Each concert begins at 7 PM, lasts about two hours and features some of the very best new and established musical groups – bluegrass, jazz, blues, Americana, country or a combination. Concessions are available on-site.
