Customer LoginGatlinburg streets to be filled with holiday Tunes & Tales
Aglow with the charm of the new Winter Magic lighting displays, the city streets of Gatlinburg look even more beautiful this year following completion of another phase of the undergrounding of utilities. But, the lighting is only part of the pleasure of a stroll down Gatlinburg's Parkway this holiday season.
The Tunes & Tales Programs began November 23, and will run from 5 to 9 p.m. every Friday and Saturday through Christmas, the popular Tunes & Tales program will feature seven quartets of carolers who will roam the streets singing classic songs of the season. Dressed in Victorian period costumes, the carolers will be delivered to various locations in the city via horse-drawn wagons and carriages.
Before the carolers board their buggies to begin singing visitors into a happy holiday mood, the public is invited to meet them at a public reception in the W.L. Mills Conference Center from 5 to 6 p.m. Friday where everyone can enjoy some light refreshments.
The public reception will also serve as the opening of the annual Gatlinburg Festival of Trees featuring dozens of trees decorated in themes ranging from whimsical to traditional and extravagantly different. The exhibit of trees lining the halls of W.L. Mills Conference Center will also be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays through Dec. 15.
Of course, to be perfectly magical, it is a must that the Winter Magic program include appearances by Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. The Clauses of North Pole, Earth, and their staff of elves work year-round making toys that Santa Claus delivers to children around the world on Christmas Eve. To prepare himself for the big trip, Claus agreed this year that he and his wife should vacation in Gatlinburg during the weekends so they can rest up a bit while visiting with children and the young at heart in the Riverbend Mall right up until Christmas.
Zeno the Gatlinburg Bear is so excited about the Clauses coming to town, and the opportunity to get his picture taken with visitors, that he has decided to postpone his hibernation until after Christmas.
Music will also fill the air every Friday night at traffic light 3 where a Yule Log fireside sing-along will be held to give families a chance to enjoy singing their favorite holiday songs together. Perhaps even Zeno will try to overcome his fear of fire to hang out with the singers.
